I hope they rub Kerry's face in the dirt of his lies! But then getting $hit on $hit doesn't change much.

Someone on this board actually saved his (Kerry's) life in VN 1969...An interesting factoid!
I would love to see the unvarnished truth re all of this come out, however it wouldn't sway those who are Pro Kerry, and wouldn't make much difference to those of us who are on the other side.
Meaning, I believe I know the truth!

Wasn't it you that saved the screaming yellow bastard? Bet the prick never even thanked you, did he? Buy you a beer at the club, anything?

He told me the evening of the formal presentation of the NATIONAL MEDAL OF SCIENCE, we had already spent a couple of days in the WH, and 45 minutes in the Oval office w/Clinton. That writeup is on here somewhere.
I was wandering around among 6-800 people right after the presentation, a tall fellow stood up and said "That's a Distinguished Flying Cross" pointing at my lapel. I said "How the hell do you know that"? He said "I'm John Kerry, I was in VN." I said "Really, when, and where?" He told me where, and when he was there. I told him, that was my AO during 68-69-70, he said "What was your call sign?" I had had 3 during that timeframe, Viper, Satan, and DeathDealer, I told him, and he got excited. He told me that he and his crew were in deep trouble, that he remembers that I responded, remembers the Cobras, remembers the callsign, and the voice...About this time Nancy is leaving the stage, I ask him if he would like to meet Dr Andreasen, he said he would be honored. So I waved at Nancy and she headed our way, he called Theresa over, introductions were made, and he told the story again in front of everyone who would listen!
On our way back to the table I asked Nancy if she believed him, she responded "Of course", I said "He remembers something that clearly from over 30 years ago?" She said "He had a log, and recorded everything"...
Drinks were free that evening, and he has not invited me over since!

It took him 30 years to buy you a beer and thank you, well, better late than never.  Hold, it - he didn't call you a baby killer and sadist?

I do believe the JR. SEN from Massachusets suffers from the third worst case of "selective memory" ever....right behind the SENIOR Senator from Mass., and my second wife...

I have often wondered about the mental faculties of the people of Massachusetts, having elected 2 of the vilest men in modern politics to represent them in the senate. If there were any justice in the world, both would be convicted felons instead of U.S. senators.
Interesting article, thanks for the link.

"Do you realize that the people of Massachusetts have NO representation in the Senate? One is never there and the the other isn't all there. That is from a local Phoenix radio guy. kerry(and no, I'm not capping the name) should have been sentenced and tossed into Portsmouth prison at least by 1971. The lush...... well, we all know where we would be if it had been any of us.

So, T, just to make your whole week - you are the finest gunship pilot, baby killer and sadist on the board. Now, line up hot and rip them rockets at the bad guys! We can GPS the not-so-swift boat boy for you, for practice.

Tha last time I was slated for "combat" flying, NDD aka (SNEAKY) was slotted as my bullet catcher  , strike that! He was scheduled as my front seat/co-pilot I'd feel much better having him onboard, besides, he will have to read the newfangled equipment (GPS).
To clarify, for anyone perusing this board, this was all meant in jest!!
