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 shrapnel wounds, and gunshot wounds serious? How many times, and what types of combat injuries did YOU receive? I take it you must have some, because above, you've qualified yourself to be an expert, and subsequently deem gunshot and shrapnel wounds serious or not. (Breaking resolution again...) Some wounds are serious, some aren't. His fall in the latter category. Well, they were serious enough to get him a few Purple Hearts and rotated back to the world. So in essence, your opinion seems to be politically skewed from reality. It was Dec. 2, 1968, and Lt. j.g. John Kerry was on a special nighttime covert mission in Vietnam. He had been ordered into a Viet Cong-infested peninsula north of Cam Ranh Bay to disrupt a smuggling operation. His vessel was a Boston Whaler, a boat that could float after taking 1,000 rounds of automatic weapons fire. Much of the evening was spent apprehending fishermen in a curfew zone. At approximately 2 a.m., however, they proceeded up an inlet with wild jungle on both sides of the boat. As they approached a bay, Kerry's whaler fired flares into the air. To their horror, not far from them, were a startled group of Viet Cong smugglers trafficking in contraband. "We opened fire," Kerry told me in a Jan. 30, 2003, interview. "The light from the flares started to fade, the air was full of explosions. My M-16 jammed, and as I bent down to grab another gun, a stinging piece of heat socked into my arm and just seemed to burn like hell. By this time one of the sailors had started the engine and we ran by the beach strafing it. Then it was quiet." |
