Liar. Kerry told the truth in 1971. Totally. The Vietnam War was full of atrocities. Kerry's own missions involved atrocities, though that was not his fault, it was orders, and the fault of one part-time gunner of his who opened fire on civilians against Kerry's wishes. That gunner is the only smearvet to have ever served with Kerry, a man named Gardner who Rush Limbaugh recruited to lie about Kerry. Gardner was angry because Kerry wanted him court-martialed for murdered civilians. But Kerry never did anything about it. There was too much murder going on everywhere. It was the White House and Pentagon which were to blame, not the grunts in the field.
Quit smearing our honest war hero leaders. Every vet Kerry represented in 1971 was a real vet. A single one of them, one out of hundreds, exaggerated his combat credentials. But that had nothing to do with Kerry. Just another smear by those trying to cover up how stupid, wrong, dishonest and self-defeating the Vietnam War was.
On the other hand, Bush-Cheney-Delay all dodged the draft despite supporting that horrid war. Bush totally exaggerated and lied when he wrote in his autobiography that he flew fighter jets and was ready to serve in Vietnam. Not true. He never flew anything as a solo pilot, not even a Cessna. He was grounded, quit training and flunked out. Then went AWOl and lied about it. His daddy got him off so he could go to Harvard. |
