Captain Klutz?
Kerry only served 4 mo. in Vietnam and he pinned on 3 Purple Hearts.
Sounds like Magnet Ass the Raven pilot. But he kept flying. Capt. American |

They covered more area and interdicted more VC traffic (there are a lot more rivers in Viet Nam than roads) than most ground units would. Some years ago, by random chance I picked up 'My Father, My Son' by Elmo Zumwalt Jr and Sr. It was a riveting book, one of the few I have read in my life that I literally could not put down. He gives a very good and careful account of river combat in Viet Nam. Sounds like Magnet Ass the Raven pilot. LOL now there's a nickname that nobody wants. Now tell us again why you feel compelled to repeat all this slander propogated by Bush & Cheney Inc? Are you worried that they might lose the upcoming election if you don't bust a gut trying to make Kerry look bad? Regards Doug King |

And with only 4 mo in country he never had the time to learn anything. Sounds like a green recruit going gung ho ****ting his pants pops of a few thousand ma duce rounds then runs home. PT 109 it was not. Tell me about the boat and crew you knew like the back of your hand in 4 mo.

LOL now there's a nickname that nobody wants. Yeah he was one of those Laos CIA pilots, he was a fac shot down to many times Now tell us again why you feel compelled to repeat all this slander propogated by Bush & Cheney Inc? Is it slander if it's the truth? Are you worried that they might lose the upcoming election if you don't bust a gut trying to make Kerry look bad? No not really. All I want is a president that will follow thru and squash any terrorist group that even sneezes towards the USA. Someone that will spit in the face of terrorist demands. Not someone that is whissey wasshey and dont know where the fight is. Capt. American Capt. American Regards Doug King |

I should warn you that Elmo Zumwalt Junior died of cancer due to his exposure to Agent Orange, which his father ordered sprayed all over the PBR operating zones. About half the book is about his childhood and his dying, from the point of view of both men. Back when I was in the Navy, people made fun of Adm. Zumwalt, but after reading this book I will not. Now tell us again why you feel compelled to repeat all this slander propogated by Bush & Cheney Inc? Is it slander if it's the truth? Is it? Kerry went to Viet Nam and got shot at. Bush went AWOL (in between DUIs) and lied about it. Simple fact. Frankly I don't believe anything either party says, but bear inmind that Bush & Cheney Inc have at least 5X the advertising budget. ... All I want is a president that will follow thru and squash any terrorist group that even sneezes towards the USA. Someone that will spit in the face of terrorist demands. Not someone that is whissey wasshey and dont know where the fight is. Considering what a chicken**** Bush was on Sept 11th, at first not reacting at all, then running away and hiding, and then lying about it, I don't see how you think he is going to ever do any of those things. At least Kerry performed under fire, whatever you may think of his actions since then. DSK |

But I doubt it. I've sailed several boat for years and never did feel that I could not learn more. Always a way to get just a little more out of her. Some years ago, by random chance I picked up 'My Father, My Son' by Elmo Zumwalt Jr and Sr. It was a riveting book, one of the few I have read in my life that I literally could not put down.

I should warn you that Elmo Zumwalt Junior died of cancer due to his exposure to Agent Orange, which his father ordered sprayed all over the PBR operating zones. Hind site is always 20/20. Im sure Elmo Sr was dupped by the dupont clan as others were at the time. About half the book is about his childhood and his dying, from the point of view of both men. Back when I was in the Navy, people made fun of Adm. Zumwalt, but after reading this book I will not. Any body that served honorably deserves respect even Kerry. It sure would be nice to have the chance to elect a President that was not born with a silver spoon in his mouth. Now tell us again why you feel compelled to repeat all this slander propogated by Bush & Cheney Inc? Is it slander if it's the truth? Is it? Kerry went to Viet Nam and got shot at. Bush went AWOL (in between DUIs) and lied about it. Simple fact. Frankly I don't believe anything either party says, but bear inmind that Bush & Cheney Inc have at least 5X the advertising budget. That IMO is the big problem with politics today. Money should be taken out of the equation. All persons nominated for president should be given the same amount of money to wage a campian. Anyone caught taking special interest money should be charged with a crime. ... All I want is a president that will follow thru and squash any terrorist group that even sneezes towards the USA. Someone that will spit in the face of terrorist demands. Not someone that is whissey wasshey and dont know where the fight is. Considering what a chicken**** Bush was on Sept 11th, at first not reacting at all, then running away and hiding, and then lying about it, I don't see how you think he is going to ever do any of those things. At least Kerry performed under fire, whatever you may think of his actions since then. Performance should be judged against all the preformed. Many Vets spent several tours received purple hearts and chose to stay and finish the job and cover their buddies back. Kerry IMO was trying to become president even back then. He stuck his neck out and found out that the real world is not staffed with servents in white coats bringing you drinks on deck of a PBR. He ventured were the common man was getting killed or was killing every day and he coulden't hang. Thats what worries me. If he become president and we have to continue a fierce fight against terrorist and terrorist supporting states will he be able to hang in there to the bitter end. Regardless of the cost. We have all seen what low down dirty sticking MF terrorist are and there willingness to kill and we must have a leader that is willing to kill them before they kill us. Vietnam had some ruthless **** going on but it is nothing on the scale of ruthlessness that ossama is willing to sink to. We need to stomp and stomp hard. No more sucker punches needed for me to get the message, **** I got the message when the USS Cole was attacked. I hate to say it but I think this war has just begun. Do you think Kerry will stick it out, or will he side with the Bagdad Janes of the world and walk down that path he walked before?. Capt. American DSK |
