His tour was one year plus 4 months of volunteer hazardous duty on a swift boat. That is a deliberate distortion. You speak English quite well. You know the above is intended to represent that Kerry spent 16 months in swift boats.

Why did Kerry leave after 3 purplse hearts? Audie Murphy earned more purple hearts than that and was offerred several opportunities for safer duty. He elected to stay. Audie Murphy was a real hero in my book.

Kerry: New England Patriot or Hanoi John? Written by Colonel Robert Powell Tuesday, August 17, 2004 Watching John Kerry’s acceptance speech on television, I came to the conclusion that it was the most fundamentally dishonest act that I had ever witnessed. The basic assumption of his speech was that the majority of the American people would not know about his actions after returning early from Vietnam or the fact that he had voted against every defense measure and weapons system that we depend on in our war against terrorism. However, the most sickening factor to me was that he cloaked himself in a false mantle of patriotism and love for our flag. This is the same flag that his protesters burned on numerous occasions and that he has voted every time not to protect by an amendment. I served in a recon platoon and three infantry rifle companies during three tours in Vietnam. We neither committed or observed any of the atrocities that Kerry testified under oath before Congress were the norm among American troops. In 1971, I was wounded for a seventh time. In 1971, John Kerry was working with Jane Fonda aiding the enemy that we were fighting. The protesters that they led were burning American Flags and carrying pictures of Ho Chi Minh and communist flags. The next year, propaganda posters could be found all over Vietnam’s jungles of Fonda wearing an enemy uniform, manning an antiaircraft weapon in Hanoi, and Kerry leading a demonstration in Washington and at Valley Forge. What kind of leader go home early with three scratches leaving his men behind, and joins Hanoi Jane? In 1971, Kerry published a book that was pro-Hanoi and whose cover, with the American Flag being raised upside down by seven hippies, mocked the flag raising at Iwo Jima. His book and speeches trashed an entire generation of the United States Armed Forces who fought in Vietnam. Three activities make John Kerry, Jane Fonda, and all others like them, traitors in my book. The blood of thousands of Americans finest is on their hands. The North Vietnamese were encouraged to continue a war that they couldn’t win on the battlefield, but on our home front. A war that was fought according to President Reagan for a noble cause to stop communism and to save South Vietnam was defamed, smeared, and ultimately lost. Lost by the Kerry-types, left-wing liberal politicians, most of the media, and hordes of college protestors, and draft dodgers. The draft dodgers were later given legitimacy and called real heroes by Jimmy Carter. Now, it breaks my heart to see the same thing starting to happen to our troops in Iraq. The attack against them is being led many in the media. John Kerry, Ted Kennedy, Tom Daschle, Max Cleland, Wesley Clark, the sewer that most of Hollywood has become with its Michael Moore-types, Al Gore, Jimmy Carter, and others who have politicized our national security. These extreme liberals are greatly damaging the war against terrorism. They would also have us get permission from a corrupt and predominantly anti-American United Nations before defending our country. To their type, America is always wrong. One last fact is that real heroes don’t beat their chests proclaiming their service and calling themselves heroes. Yet, the most liberal of our one hundred senators by voting record, Hanoi John Kerry, does this daily. Did you ever hear Bob Dole or John McCain, who both went through far more than most, do such a thing when they were running for president? Colonel (Ret.)
