JOHN KERRY'S FORMER COMMANDING OFFICER ADMITS TO <font color=blue>"KEVIN MCCULLOUGH SHOW"<font color=black> TODAY THAT HE ASKED KERRY TO LEAVE FOLLOWING THE ISSUANCE OF THIRD PURPLE HEART.<font size=3>

~5:40pm~ EST
HEAR THE ACTUAL AUDIO: <font size=4>Lt. Thomas Wright admitted to me on the air today several exclusive and revealing looks at the Vietnam service of John Kerry.

Wright's first claim was that as his former commanding offcier, Wright frequently had to confront Kerry over willful disobedience to orders aboard Swift Boat patrols.

On frequent occasions Wright stated that Kerry would randomly fire at <font color=blue>"things he thought were moving"<font color=black> along the shoreline. Wright stated that the protocol was only to fire when the unit was receiving hostile fire. Wright explained that part of the Swift Boat patrol's goal was to develop contacts with non-combatants living along the rivers being patrolled.

Wright pointed out that firing on the people you were meant to develop contacts with generally worked against the goals.

Wright also points out that when confronted about his defiance of patrol rules, Kerry would make claims of not hearing the orders, knowing the protocols or <font color=blue>"thinking that he saw something"<font color=black>.

Wright's boldest claim was that after Kerry had in fact received his third purple heart, Wright along with two other ranking officers basically flat out asked Kerry to leave Vietnam. The reason being his behavior continually put the group in greater vulnerability and danger.

According to Wright, Kerry claimed he would not leave, <font color=blue>"but was out of there by morning."<font color=black>

The audio received so much traffic in the middle of the show that we downloaded the two segments, edited them together into one long playing segment and posted them on the blog. Listen by clicking here - or on the sidebar.
