John Kerry's war record
The Washington Times
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
December 6, 2002
As Sen. John Kerry, Massachusetts Democrat,considers a bid for the White House,Americans should know a few things about him that he might prefer go unmentioned and I don't mean his $75 haircuts.When Mr. Kerry pontificated at the VietnamVeterans Memorial on Veterans Day, a group of veterans turned their backs on him and walked away. They remembered Mr. Kerry as the anti-war activist who testified beforeCongress during the war, accusing veterans of being war criminals.
The dust jacket of Mr.Kerry's pro-Hanoi book, "The New Soldier,"features a photograph of his ragged band of radicals mocking the U.S. Marine Corps Memorial, which depicts the flag-raising on Iwo Jima, with an upside-down American flag. Retired Gen. George S. Patton III charged that Mr. Kerry's actions as an anti-war activist had "given aid and comfort to the enemy," as had the actions of Ramsey Clark and Jane Fonda.
Also, Mr. Kerry lied when he threw what he claimed were his war medals over the White House fence; he later admitted they weren't his. Now they are displayed on his office |
