"Three Purple Hearts? I mean, the first one whether he ought to have a Purple Heart. He got two in one day --
Kerry never bled that I know of. They were all superficial wounds. As far as I know, he never spent one day in the hospital, I don't think he draws any disability pay. He doesn't have any disability. And he's boasting about three Purple Hearts, when you think of some of the people who really got shot up in Vietnam.... Maybe he should apologize to all the other two-and-a-half million veterans who served. He wasn't the only one who was in Vietnam. I think Senator Kerry needs to talk about his Senate record, which is pretty thin. That's probably why he's talking about his war record, which is pretty confused."
On cross-examination...
"I saw some war heroes...John Kerry is not a war hero. He couldn't tie the shoes of some of the people in Coastal Division 11. His allegations that people committed war crimes in that unit, and throughout Vietnam, were lies. He knew they were lies when he said them, and they were very damaging lies." --John O'Neill, co-author, "Unfit for Command," who became skipper of John Kerry's Swiftboat after Kerry collected his third Purple Heart in as many months for minor cuts and abrasions, and headed home to run for Congress.
"This is not a campaign to elect George Bush. It's a campaign to say John Kerry is unfit for command, period." --Jerome Corsi, co-author, "Unfit for Command"
Open query...
"Maybe the media could put some of the energy they spend trying to discredit Mr. Kerry's critics into finding out the facts. Or don't they dare risk finding out?" --Thomas Sowell
The BIG lie...
"For 35 years I have stood up, and fought, and kept faith with my fellow veterans." --John Kerry to the VFW.
