They call John McCain a war hero, because he was awarded the Silver Star, the Bronze Star, Legion of Merit, the DFC, and the NCM. And they denegrate a man who was awarded a Silver Sta, a Bronze Star, and 3 Purple Hearts. I might note that Adm. Zumwald was the one who pinned the medal on his chest at An Thoi.

I might note that our little unit received the Combat Action ribbon, 2 Navy Unit Commendations, Cross of Galantry, the other usual gedunk, as well as 10 Battle Stars. We snuck up the Cu Chien River, over several sandbars under cover of dark , to take on 3 targets at one time. Does that make every guy in my unit a war hero, or do they need to be neocons to get that distinction?

No, a war hero is someone like Daniel Inouye, recipient of the CMH. THAT is a war hero, assholes.

the swift boat vets against him. It was what he did afterwads.

vietnam veterans as baby killers and war criminals.

Just like their puppetmasters in the Kremlin wanted them to.

What's worse is the neocons get some pipsqueek to stand up at the RNC, and call him a war hero. Someone who got all the college deferments he could, and when he was denied another deferment, he begged the judge he was working for to intercede for him to be reclassified 2A, just to get out of being drafted during VietNam.

the guy who volunteered for combat in Vietnam twice.

You are trying to discuss something you know shit about, dumbass, stow it.

You don't know shit about what the fuck you're talking about, youngster. Bilge water.

and he volunteered for Vietnam twice.

Do you dispute either of those statements?

Discussing things you know nothing about is YOUR job.

Excuse me, chump? You're the guy who claimed the Gridley was a cruiser. Who doesn't know what he's talking about?

He didn't volunteer for VietNam twice, he was a mamber of CWG16 while on the Forrestal. when the Forrestal was out of commission he volunteered to join the Oriskany. Both carriers were a part of CWG16, along with several other carriers of Seventh Fleet. And now I suppose you know how long carriers stood on Yankee Station before being relieved.

John Kerry was on board the Gridley in the Tonkin Gulf, he volunteered for the Mobile Riverine Forces. That is volunteering for combat in VietNam.

You're a joker and a waste of good air.

Kerry's mouth is what got him denigrated by the Swift boaters. He claimed he and ALL other soldiers in VietNam killed women and children.

Seems a few of them called him a liar and traitor.

He REALLY became a traitor when he began marching with the communists, giving speeches to them with all the lies..

A FEW Swiftboaters, perhaps you should read McCains remarks about 'our civilian commanders' re VietNam before you run your mouth.

Another neocon that doesn't know shit from a can of shinola.

Seems a few of them called him a liar and traitor.

Yep, i'll agree with you there, bugboy. Damn few. Less than 10% of the Riverines that died in VietNam. Yep, i'd say that's damn few.

'marching with the communists', ooooooooooo, you're so scarey. My guess is you consider VVAW as being a communist organization. Guys who fought in VietNam, guys who knew about things like search and destroy missions, and operation clean sweep.

Yep, we should save ourselves and listen to people who didn't serve in VietNam, like Giuliani and Lush Limpballs. Oh yes, and let's not forget Man Colitis.

Comeon, brainiac, show your f**king intelligence.

Tell you what, i'll shut down and head for the rack. Then you can get the balls to run your mouth somemore. How's that?
