"As Mr. Kerry contemplates a run for the presidency, people must remember that he has fought harder for Hanoi as an antiwar activist and a senator than he did against the Vietnamese communists while serving in the Navy in Vietnam."

I have been trying to find out exactly how badly Kerry was wounded. How long did he spend in the hospital during his four month tour? Does he have any disability from his injuries? How bad are his multible scars? Neither side seems to want to tell us.

[1] SO WHY DOES HE REFUSE TO LET US SEE THE RECORDS ?
15 Aug 2004 17:50:24
i served 4 years in the air force and my records were lost in the records building fire . kerrys probably were to and he brags of his heroic feats because he dosent have any milatary records to prove that he is a pathatic liar and a jane fonda traitor.may GOD protect our milatary if he becomes commander in chief because he sure as hell wont.

I didn't realize that Bush was such a great soldier, last I checked he wasn't in a war, in fact tried to get out of it and cut funding for veterans, and even pay for active soldiers. Good thing our military is in good hands.

So, let me get this straight. The draft was still in place, yet Kerry did not join until age 22. In other words he avoided the draft by going to college. Joined the military on a political career move, just how was it that he had funds to buy a camera and where did he get one? Everyone I know that was there were no where near a store. He was more focused on taking pictures than he was aiming his gun and doing what he was told to do, then bashed all military personel on the Dick Cavett show in 71 and protested on capital hill. Received some scrapes, because he knew that after 3 wounds he would be place stateside. What a coward, too embarrassed by his divorce that he won't publish it. Marries into wealth to continue his assests for more political career moves.I vote BUSH my daughters are both military and they deserve a better chance at protecting themselves and Bush will see to that.

This democrat will not be voting for "this war hero John". Four and half months and he's outer there only to come back to the states to defame those that were still in Vietnam. How can he live with the fact that his mouth and Hanoi Jane, are the major reason for the sad treatment the returning REAL HEROS received.

No Kerry fan I. Much to conservative. But in the matter of his military sevice the extrordinary thing is that he was in Vietnam at all. You see, the vast majority of rich ivy league pro-war conservatives safely stayed home. Their big chance to kill some anti-capitalist un-christian commies and they, well, to put it bluntly, chickened out. Kerry was there. He was fired on. He killed for us. He saved a fellow soldiers life.
I don't care for his politics but as far as his war record goes it must be said, he went when the privileged elites like Dick, Rush, and the whole of Bushes neo-con cabinet punked-out.

[9] Folks like to mention Kerry's short 4 months in Vietnam. But he served two tours. His first two years were on a navy frigate (guided-missle cruiser??). Okay , so it was a low risk assignment off the coast of Vietnam. But he then volunteered for the swift boat assignment for his second tour. I heard a recent statistic (can't recall the source, so take w/ grain of salt) that the average combat time for swift boat guys was only 6-months becuase it was so dangerous. You either got your quota of purple hearts or got a body bag. Say what you want about the magnitude of Kerry's injuries. He was there and many others were not. We all have to step back from this whole thing - both sides. It's pretty darn clear that the republicans will not see any of this or consider the fact that Kerry was there while the current administration skipped the war and stayed home - that fact is indisputable, but apparently irrelevant. Can't the dems see this too and move on? So what's the point? Regardless of "the truth" is anyone really changing his/her mind because of this 35 year old issue?

People have to blind to not to se that Kerry used the Viet Nam war to launch his political career. He was adamantly opposed to the war and yet volunteered. Why?He made a calculated move to obtain ammuntion to use in his testimony before Congress.He knew full well that three wounds would be his quick ticket home after getting information that he would use to advance his antiwar stance. This accounts for insistance on getting the three purple hearts for minor wounds that a real soldier would have ignored.He definitely gave aide and comfort to enemy and increased the torture that our Pows were being subjected to. I shudder to think that a person this cold and calculated would have even the remotest of chances of becoming our Commander-In-Chief.

[6] It's my experience that staunch supporters of the demacratic party fall into one or two of the four sections of society that always votes democratic because of their lack of application of any kind of values implying that to have values may not be politically correct. Thank god that the things President Bush says over and over again are strongly in support of the values he claims to have. The president served in the Air national guard, and could have been called up at any time to serve. The fact that he was not certainly was not in his power to dictate. It is a commonly known fact that the state department frowned on children of elected officials serving "in country" for reasons of national security ETC. If this does not make sense to you then consider what a bargaining chip the son of a U.S. represenative[Which Georges father was at that time] would be. John kerry does not consider himself governed by the same rule as you and I. If you want proof of that just go to the Department of public records of mass. and try to look at his divorce records. Mysteriously they have been sealed, a luxury that I was not afforded with mine. If you want to truly know who you are voting for, check it out!!!DON'T WASTE YOUR VOTE!!!!!

[2]http:// YOU say you served and earned the "distinguished flying cross" but did you really? Who wrote up your information for your medals?Let's scrutinize your records and doubt your heart? What ax do you have to grind now? Weren't you safer flying around in the sky than those who were actually on the ground? What were you trying to avoid? How does it feel to have your record doubted? You should support all veterans and thank them for their service to our great country.

[10] Kerry's first Viet Nam assignment was as an electrical officer on board a ship, roaming 'tween Nam and California. Oh, yeah, it was 7 months, not 2 years. Look it up.

[15] not one reserve unit was required to serve in Viet Nam-------incase you didn't know there was a draft at that time. Mr Bush was a privliged individual plain and simple. Hes hasn't "flipped flopped" his still in favor of someone else fighting the war and not him. John Kerry earned the right to say what his beliefs were. Every one of by buddies saw ears, and even wallets made from the scrotums of the viet cong. Its funny to look back now, but isn't odd the relationship we now have with Viet nam. and isn't it just like John Kerry said it would be if we changed or policies back in 1970?

let me get this straight. kerry went to vietnam. for whatever reason, at least he
wasn't so much of a coward to avoid it completely. he took pictures of his experience
and when it was over he exposed the horrific acts taking place and went on in his
career to advocate for the people being forced to denounce christianity in Hanoi.
This tells me that he sees value in many people of the world not just americans. He
cares about the image America projects and is aware of the hatred that George Bush is
helping to foster with the unfair policies and tight lipped policy on Iraq. If he
really cared enough about the Iraqis to liberate them but he can't apoloize for the
innocent lives lost.
Bush is such a liar. I just heard him say he would use "every asset in our national
power" to fight these people who hate us. People who have a whole new reason to hate
us since he invaded Iraq instead of sending all our troops after Bin Laden. If he is
so committed to protecting the U.S. then why did he cut the funds that were being
used to secure nuclear weapons sites in Russia? The year following Sept. 11 he cut
the funds completely. They are now allocated only 1 billion dollars annually and
experts say it will take 12 years to secure theses sites. In the meantime we should
just ignore the fact that Bin Laden is a free man with access to buying stolen Nukes.
Knowing this I don't feel very safe.

[17] Since when is flying a plane less dangerous? Did the Viet Cong not have AA guns? And a good bit of the time, planes were required to fly low to the ground, where they are visible and easy to hit; or land on dirt runways that were sometimes too short (andtaking off from them, too). Pilots (and co-pilots) were often required to handle dangerous chemicals, as well--a fact that the government conveniently concealed from them until a few years ago. Now some of them (id est the one I know) are slowly dying from conditions contracted by the pilots. Again, I'll take the one I know for an example--he has a condition where he bleeds (both fortunately and unfortunately, it is painless); he could bleed to death without even noticing. An increased chance of cancer. And children have a much higher chance of birth defencts and crippling conditions.
