General Patton on Lieutenant Kerry

The only part attractive about the 747 run came up when I was asking
ex-F-105 type Cal Tax, now Delta Captain what he grosses. The answer
was about $375K per year, but he does some extra on-call flying for
time-and-a half so it goes up nearer to $450K. I could do that, yes I
could! Nahh, too old now.

That black woman who showed her mammary gland at the football game
made that much in an hour. I really hate it when they ruin my violence with
some damned negro (trying to look sexy) crap. I like to keep my violence
and sex entertainment separate...

Time to renew your dues to the KKK.

Naw, I don't think the NFL would be anything special without the black folks
kicking the hell out of each other while the white kid with the radio headset
talks to the man with the plays.

Oddly enough, despite getting three Purple Hearts, the photos of he and his
crew, one with decorations, don't show any apprent wounds to his right arm
(where he supposedly was wounded twice).


I thought it was once in each arm, and once in one thigh. I don't
see any photos that show his arms in their entirety and don't
care to look at any photos of his thighs.

No, he is merely pointing out the obvious fact that not *every* Silver Star
was evidence of heroism, and his example of LBJ is an appropriate one in
this case.

I'd like to hear more bout LBJ's silver star.

The curious nature of those Purple Hearts received with
reportedly no absence from duty does make his awards situation
questionable.

My understanding is that none of the three wounds were serious.
I presume that he received firstr aid in the field and did not
require hospitalization upon his return. I don't know what
standard, if any, there is for a purple heart but I don't think
they are restricted to injuries that render one unfit for duty.

So you don't think giving aid and comfort to the enemy is a bad thing?
If Lt Kerry is a good American, then Jane Fonda is also a fine American.


I dunno what he thinks.

But I do know that petitioning one's government to withdraw from a
war is not giving aid and comfort to the enemy and it is thoroughly
unAmerican to suggest such a thing. None-the-less, here in America,
you are free to voice unAmerican sentiments.

IMHO John Kerry displayed his patriotism both in his military service,
and in his subsequent protest against continued military action by
the US in Vietnam.


This seems important to you, but it's merely a rephrasing of the first
question above. I never went to anti-government rallies and throw my
medals at Congress, and then turn around and declare myself a war
hero. Does that count?

Are you at ease with your conscience?

Agreed as far as that goes. However kerry testified in Congress that the U.S.
military was deliberately committing "attrocities" as policy. He provided no
proof. THAT is providing comfort to the enemy.

As far as I am concerned he stabbed us all in the back.

After wrangling himself a USNR commission, he junketed to the southwest
Pacific and rode in a single sortie (some accounts indicate a milk run) on a
B-26. After he landed they pinned a SS on him, with appropriate press
coverage, of course. Pretty disgusting, all in all.

Like any decoration, the Purple Heart award can be "abused" in terms of how
it is handed out. My brother knew of one guy in his outfit who actually
tried to write himself up for one (he stubbed his toe trying to get into a
bunker during a rocket attack on their base in Danang); his own commander
offered him one after he was shot down and wrenched his back in the crash
(he laughed that one off). Seeing a guy like Kerry who gets not one, but
*three* PH's, with no reported lost duty days (he claims he missed "one or
two days" for one of the wounds, but we have not seen his records to that
effect yet, have we?) should raise one's eyebrow a bit.

AR 600-8-22: "...the wound for which the award is made must have required
treatment by a medical officer and records of medical treatment for wounds
or injuries received in action must have been made a matter of official
record." Let's see if the media beagles so interested in GWB's military
records care to dig up the dirt on Kerry's PH's--I am not holding my breath.

To make things even less palatable, the B-26 he was on had developed a
case of teh Galloping Ner-get-overs, and aborted the mission before
even coming close to the target area.

Ed, there is no point discussing politics with Art. He is a little bit
bonkers on the subject, especially when the politician is George Bush.

I kill-filed Art six months ago for that reason. The newsgroup has
been more enjoyable since. And if he does say something interesting,
it's bound to be quoted by someone


all the best -- Dan Ford
