Dole's own purple heart. |
Dole's first wound. It was in the first of these night patrols that Dole
received the wound for which he was awarded his first Purple Heart. He ruefully
confesses in his 1988 autobiography that his wound was self-inflicted: "As we
approached the enemy, there was a brief exchange of gunfire. I took a grenade
in hand, pulled the pin, and tossed it in the direction of the farmhouse. It
wasn't a very good pitch (remember, I was used to catching passes, not throwing
them). In the darkness, the grenade must have struck a tree and bounced off. It
exploded nearby, sending a sliver of metal into my leg -- the sort of injury
the Army patched up with Mercurochrome and a Purple Heart." The wound was so
minor that he led another patrol two nights later. He does not mention that
others were also injured by his misguided throw -- which Woodruff's account
attributes to an enemy machine gun.
Dole's version seems to have gotten chewed up in the myth-making machinery.
Richard Ben Cramer, in his book Bob Dole, is the only one of the biographers to
give Dole's account. Hilton says only that Dole "suffered a slight leg wound in
March 1945, and earned a Purple Heart, but he went right on leading his
platoon." In his 1994 biography Bob Dole: The Republicans' Man for All Seasons,
Thompson, the Kansas CityStar reporter, who had interviewed Dole, says, "One of
his group pulled the pin on a hand grenade and threw it.... A small grenade
fragment cut into Dole's leg and lightly injured several others. The men were
patched up and each was awarded a Purple Heart."

At least there was an exchange of gunfire! In Kerry's case, it turns out
he wasn't approaching the enemy, but rather a pile of rice. Kerry "attacked
it" with a grenade, which then shot rice into his rear. He laughed about it
at the time, then put in for a Purple Heart a couple of hours later.
Three Purple Hearts and Kerry never bled, that we know of. They're all
superficial wounds!
Some "war hero"!
And as far as we know, Kerry's never spent one day in the hospital. He
doesn't draw any disability pay. He doesn't have any disability - and
boasting about three Purple Hearts, when you think of some of the people who
REALLY got shot up in Vietnam?
John Forbes Kerry is a fraud!

Hey, Keyboard Warrior, go ahead and find me the rule in the Navy
command book that demands severity of the wound of a purple heart!
Bring it on, fucko.
ps. Kerry still has shrapnel in his leg.
Meanwhile, AWOL Bush was getting drunk and menacing drivers in
Alabama.

Bring it on, fucko.
The only rule for obtaining a purple is that the wound must have been
received during an engagement against hostile forces. Kerry hasn't proven
that his first Purple heart was obtained during enemy actions, you'll recall
he received that wound on Dec 2nd 1968 as he claims and as teh purple heart
citatin reads. Now look into Kerry's own journals that he made during his
tour and you'll find a entry for Dec 11,1968 where Kerry claims his troops
are being quite coockie because they had not yet been fired on. This passage
is actually in Kerry's book Tour of Duty and contradicts his claims about
the first Purple.
So let's see his claims about being in Cambodia are proven to be a lie and
now his own journals point to an inconsistency (how could he have been in a
fight on Dec 2nd and wounded if by his own journal entry his crew are
cocckie because they have never been engaged by the enemy) dealing with his
purple heart.
ps. Kerry still has shrapnel in his leg.
Only if he is still growing rice in his *****!
