Kerry for President

Senator John Kerry has made his 4-month combat tour in Vietnam the centerpiece of his bid for the Presidency. His campaign jets a handful of veterans around the country, and trots them out at public appearances to sing his praises. John Kerry wants us to believe that these men represent all those he calls his "band of brothers."

But most combat veterans who served with John Kerry in Vietnam see him in a very different light.

Roy, I posted this link earlier today, but did not see any responses to it:

Kerry - Running For An Oscar, or For President?

Kerry had a whole s#!tload of movies he, or one of his crewmen shot about skirmishes they encountered during the 4 months he was in country.

How'd he amass that much footage?

This article addresses an explanation.

Except you wouldn't be credentialing your high school service as some essential part of your person to get you elected.

Okay, well, John Kerry either wants to run on his war record or he doesn't. I just wish he'd make up his mind.

Yes he did. And now he's learning the dangers of touting that service for political purposes.

:cool: As I finished posting my first reply to this thread, it occured to what I think crzygvtwrkr(sp?) mentioned in another thread.
He said, I believe, where he saw a film clip of Kerry's boat coming under fire from the enemy alright, but the shots from shore seemed to be falling way short - about a hundred yards short - of the boat.

If you think about this, and the fact that Kerry had his crew go back to the scene of a firefight, re-enact the darn thing, it makes perfect sense that they would not fire too near their boat.

Some realism is warranted here, but hey, but let's not get Kerried away here and shoot holes in our ride home!

But here you have to remember, J.F. Kerry was already planning to use these 8mm movies for political gain later.:mad:

:cool: ST, there's another thread on the forums entitled: The Missing Year.......What Kerry doesn't Want Out About Bush.

Though it may be unprovable, it's plausible. Some folks accuse him of being a cowboy at heart, and just as likely to face down a gunslinger at high noon.

Hmmmm...................

It is interesting watching...

...the Kerry machine cast about for an identity other than his record.

Okay, well, John Kerry either wants to run on his war record or he doesn't. I just wish he'd make up his mind.

It seems that right now, topped off by the convention, that the main near term goal is to sell JFK, the non-wimp, non New England lib, a la Dukakis, war hero.

I guess the hope is that if John Wayne Kerry was THERE, saw the elephant as it were, then HE is exempt from his voting record flip flops because he KNOWS. He's got the 1,000 yard stare. He's killed for his country. You can't question the Duke.

I wonder how long the "Nam-ing out" will go on?
