Does a self-inflicted paper cut qualify for a Purple Heart?
Only if you want to run for president some day.
The Swiftboat vets raise a timeless issue: this is not about what
happened (or did not happen) 5 or 35 years ago in Vietnam or Cambodia.
Rather, it is about honor and courage -- then and now.
John FuckingLiar KKKerry is a self-confessed war criminal who:
* LIES about his self-inflicted injuries for the purpose of obtaining a
medal reserved for those who, in sacrifice for their country, sustained
serious physical injury while in combat with the enemy
* LIES about his opposition to SUVs, of which he is a proud owner
* LIES about his opposition to NAFTA, for which he voted
* LIES about his opposition to Operation Iraqi Freedom, for which he
voted
* LIES about his opposition to the USA PATRIOT Act, for which he voted
* LIES about his support for weapons and body armor for our military,
AGAINST which he voted
* LIES about his support for funding our intelligence agencies, AGAINST
which he voted
* LIES ad infinitum
John FuckingLiar KKKerry is totally unfit for command of any swiftboat,
much less as Commander and Chief of the world's greatest military! To
allow John FuckingLiar KKKerry to get away with such LIES about his
military record -- which are Federal offenses -- is to dishonor and
disrespect all the brave men and women who truly sacrificed for us all.

Navy Probes KKKerry Medal
Friday, September 03, 2004
NEW YORK -- In what has been described by Navy officials as a routine
process, the Pentagon's inspector general's office on Thursday referred
to the secretary of the Navy a request to investigate medals won by
Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry during the Vietnam War.
Government watchdog group Judicial Watch submitted the request for an
investigation. Navy sources said the service will probe the medals, but
added that most questions have arisen because of what appear to be
errors in processing records.
Kerry received five medals during his four months in combat in Vietnam.
Judicial Watch asked the Pentagon to investigate Kerry's receipt of the
Silver Star with a "Combat V" designation, which stands for valor under
fire.
Kerry's campaign Web site includes military records listing the Combat V
citation. Navy procedures show that the Silver Star cannot carry a
Combat V designation because part of the reason the medal is awarded is
for valor under fire -- the added designation would be redundant. The
findings of the probe, therefore, will not change the record of Kerry's
Vietnam service.
In a letter to Judicial Watch, the inspector general's office said:
"Concerning our allegations of violations of Uniform Code of Military
Justice, we have the responsibility to ... 'report suspected or alleged
violations.' We have informed the secretary of the Navy of the
allegations."
Kerry campaign adviser Michael Meehan released a statement to FOX News
that criticized the attention being paid to the request.
"The facts are clear, the Navy awarded John Kerry the Silver Star, a
Bronze Star with a Combat V and three Purple Hearts. It is waste of
taxpayer's dollars and the Pentagon's time, especially during wartime,
to investigate a 35-year-old Navy clerical error," the statement reads.
The Navy has said that it's the responsibility of all personnel to
correct errors in official records.
In 1996, Chief of Naval Operations Admiral Jeremy Boorda committed
suicide when he learned that a reporter was about to disclose he had
wrongly worn two Combat V pins on a Bronze Star, a medal that does not
denote valor under fire.
At the time, Kerry told the Boston Herald that wrongly wearing the
medals is a severe error in judgment.
"Is it wrong? Yes, it is very wrong. Sufficient to question his
leadership position? The answer is yes," he is quoted as saying.
Kerry also spoke to the Boston Globe about the matter.
"If you wind up being less than what you're pretending to be, there is a
major confrontation with value, self-esteem and your sense of how others
view you."
Judicial Watch representatives said the group also wants an
investigation into Kerry's third citation for the same Silver Star. In
1986, Kerry received the third citation after requesting a copy of his
original citations. This one carried the signature and some additional
words of praise under the signature of then-Navy Secretary John Lehman.
In a statement to FOX News, Lehman, who served on the Sept. 11
commission that investigated pre-2001 terror attack intelligence
failings, said he had no idea why Kerry received a third citation under
his signature, and that Navy records should be "thoroughly researched
and the facts established."
Meanwhile, in an exclusive interview with FOX News, former President
George H.W. Bush said questions raised about Kerry's protests against
the Vietnam War were legitimate, and he saw nothing wrong with airing a
TV ad assailing Kerry's anti-war testimony by the Swift Boat Veterans
for Truth, a loosely regulated, independent political action group known
as a 527.
"My view is the advertisement showing Senator Kerry as a young veteran
coming back and using his own words to describe atrocities committed by
his own soldiers, sailors, marines or whatever it is, is devastating,"
Bush said.
Bush 41 also said Kerry owes the nation and Vietnam veterans an apology.
"I think it is not enough to say, well, I made a youthful indiscretion,
and I think Senator Kerry ought to apologize."
FOX News' Major Garrett contributed to this report.
Kerry Sends Troops to War But Votes Against Weapons
* In 1983, Kerry voted to send troops to Grenada (which did not attack
the USA)
* In 1989, Kerry voted to send troops to Panama (which did not attack
the USA)
* In 1992, Kerry voted to send troops to Somalia (which did not attack
the USA)
* In 1992 he voted to send troops in to Kosovo (which did not attack the
USA)
* In 1999, Kerry voted to bomb Bosnia (which did not attack the USA)
* In 2001, Kerry voted to send troops to Afghanistan (which did not
attack the USA)
* In 2002, Kerry voted to send troops to Iraq (which did not attack the
USA)
* On 9 August 2004, Kerry said that he would have sent troops to Iraq
even if he had known that there were no weapons of mass destruction
Even more hypocritical, and why Kerry is totally unfit for command, is
that while Kerry has been so willing to send our troops all over the
world in harm's way, Kerry at the same time has voted against providing
them with weapons that keep them safe. In fact, in 19 years he voted
dozens of times to cut military and intelligence spending. He also voted
against systems that have been the mainstay of keeping our troops safe:
