Show me where Bob Dole did that...another AS lie, unlike the fact that John Kerry did whine for his band aide and bactin so that he could get a medal a hero would never have considered earned.
How dare you compare the Kerry scratches to Bob Doles injuries.
He was awarded two Purple Hearts for his war injuries, as well as the Bronze Star for bravery for crawling out of his foxhole in an attempt to rescue his platoon's radio man. Wounded by German machine-gun fire, Lt. Dole lay paralyzed for nine hours on an Italian battlefield before being evacuated.
Three years and nine operations later, he would walk again, but never regain use of his right arm. Citizens from his hometown of Russell, Kan., contributed money to help pay for his medical bills.
He writes of his recovery in the new book: "I still wasn't feeling anything in my right arm, but I knew that portion of my body had been badly mangled, so I centered my efforts on my left side. Slowly, but surely, I could move my toes, and my legs just a little. 'Move!' I'd silently scream at my left hand and arm, but it defied my orders. It lay motionless on my chest, atop the plaster cast." |
