Oh yea Asskisser and Harry you need to look at Kerry's Purple

Hearts

and

how

he got them.. Just a little fact finding mission.or do you have

the

guts

to

look for yourself.

1. Gunshot wound,left arm, in a firefight on river patrol.
2. Shrapnel wound, right arm, bomb near patrol boat.
3. Shrapnel wound, left thigh.

Wow! Those sound like some serious wounds. How long did he spend in

the

hospital for each of his injuries?

You don't consider gunshot and shrapnel wounds serious?

You must have missed the editorial, you too Harry, from an officier that
served with Kerry. The editorial was neutral at best but, the one part

that

was interesting described how Kerry was adamant about getting Purple

Hearts

for any and all injuries.


It's best to gather all the paperwork while one is still on active duty, for
the Army has a unique way of *forgetting* things after the soldier gets out.

The way I read it was that Kerry figured out that

if he got three Purple Hearts, for any and all injuries, he could get sent
home quickly.


You're not suggesting he shot or shrapnelled (is that a word) himself are
you?
The fact is, he was injured in combat three times, received three purple
hearts, and with that you find fault?




Bert, who was never in the line of fire, is questioning the wounds of a
soldier who saw action in Vietnam, eh?
