Could the Press Grow a Spine?

Of which you "have no source" but "believe a Navy Corpsman" is the
source? That's your support of "He and his surrogates"? Your case
seems a bit unsupported.

Discount it if you like. I remember that they had someone comd forward who
said Kerry's 3rd wound was just a scratch.
Seems like he was a corpsman. If you discount that, it doesn't bother me.

According to the doctor who saw him Kerry's wound required no medical
treatment. According to his commanding officer Kerry's "wound" was not
received in action with an enemy. Kerry nominated himself for a Purple
Heart for this "wound". He used this unearned Purple Heart to leave Vietnam
after serving just a third of his tour. Kerry is a man without honor.

I don't have a source, but the Bushies got someone, I believe a Navy
corpsman,
to come forward and say that Kerry's third wound was just a scratch.


You mean this guy?

That's from the National Review. The sleaziest of the neocon right wing rags.

Would you prefer indymedia.org?

The source, Dr. Louis Letson, remains the same.

When I read so much detail about so unimpressive a medical event that occurred
to a relatively unknown junior officer over 35 years ago, I can't help but
conclude that there's a lot of embellishing going on. Most of the human race
couldn't recall what they were doing on that particular day 35+ years ago, but
this bird can? Hell, did anybody think to ask him what procedure he performed
on a particular wounded veteran in his care ten or sixteen days later? Of
course not, because they know damned well that he'd draw a blank without someone
to fill in details that he'd forgotten years ago.

If it sounds like BS, looks like BS, and smells like BS, chances are pretty good
that it's not much more than a pile of BS.

"Letson says he remembers his brief encounter with Kerry 35 years ago
because 'some of his crewmen related that Lt. Kerry had told them that he
would be the next JFK from Massachusetts'."
