Kerry Military Records -- High Praise, Combat Kills
Wed Apr 21, 2004
By John Whitesides
Political Correspondent
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry's
military records, released on Wednesday after critics questioned one of his
medals, show he was a highly praised commander credited with killing at
least 20 enemy soldiers.
The records, posted on the campaign's Web site, include effusive evaluations
of Kerry's service and previously released citations for the Silver Star,
Bronze Star and three Purple Hearts he earned in the Vietnam War.
Kerry, who served as a swiftboat commander in Vietnam's Mekong Delta in 1968
and 1969 during his second tour of duty, "frequently exhibited a high sense
of imagination and judgment in planning operations against the enemy,"
according to a January 1969 evaluation by a supervisor.
The report noted Kerry "exhibited all of the traits desired of an officer in
a combat environment" and was "unofficially credited with 20 enemy killed in
action."
Other reports from command school and officer evaluations described him as
"a highly talented, polished and professional naval officer" and "highly
intelligent, well read and skilled.'
The more than 100 pages of records were released by the campaign under
pressure from Republicans after one of Kerry's former commanders questioned
his first Purple Heart and the severity of the shrapnel wound to Kerry's
arm.
Regulations governing Purple Hearts, given for injuries caused by enemy
action, do not specify a level of severity for the wounds. Navy records
showed Kerry had shrapnel removed from his arm.
Kerry has made his military service during the Vietnam War a centerpiece of
his campaign against President Bush. He said last week Republicans who never
served in the military, like Vice President ***** Cheney and White House
political adviser Karl Rove, should not question his patriotism by
criticizing his defense record.
BUSH RECORD
Bush was forced in February to surrender his National Guard files from the
Vietnam War period to try to stamp out election-year charges from Democrats
that he shirked his duty.
Those documents offered no new evidence to place Bush in Alabama during the
latter part of 1972, the period when Democrats claimed he was basically
absent without leave. Continued ...

"I find it outrageous that the president is running for re-election on the
grounds that he's done such great things about terrorism. He ignored it. He
ignored terrorism for months, when maybe we could have done something to
stop 9/11," Clarke told CBS.

You don't go to a court of law and make claims and the person has to prove otherwise.You have to show up with the
proof to back your claim.

And bush lacks the documentation to prove he completed his commitment to the
TANG when he received preferential treatment to be accepted in the first
place to avoid Viet Nam.

The proof is the fact that George W. Bush was enlisted and asked to be trainned
to fly jet fighter planes. After he received the education he did not fly.
Why did he not fly? That is the question that no one apparently is asking.
When I was in the military, you had to do your duty or face other actions. If
anyone other than a Bush failed to keep his flight status, his ***** would have
been shipped to vietnam.
