There are so many reasons why I continue to stand by the call for Kerry’s military records.

One of them is the recent revelation that Kerry is in essence calling military members ‘dumb’.

That’s why he go out now, isn’t it? He found the loophole to get out; get three purple hearts.

There is a commenter on this thread at the Back Country Conservative:

I was in Viet Nam 1968 & 1969 on PBR’s. I knew some Swift crews and during my time his stories don’t add up. First of all as a boot officer assigned to a ship you have to do at least 18 months or more aboard, Kerry didn’t even do a year. Must have been a screw up to get transfered. He even said he went ashore in Viet Nam when his ship went their. Again no personel went ashore off ships except amphibious type. If he served on Swifts he would not have been able to carry out patrols as he discribes. As a Boat Officer his crew opperated the boat and manned the guns. He had a Chief or First Class as a Boat Captain who had experence and schooling to opperate it.Kerry was responsible for the Patrol and its Mission and answered to headquarters. As far as his Silver Star and three Purple Hearts, I doubt very much. I seen a lot of Officers that were stationed in Staff positions in Siagon went home with a few Medals(Good for Promotion)that didn’t know which end of the gun the bullet came out of. If you knew the right person that had access to your personel records anything was possible. I saw a lot of action the year I was on PBR’s and never received any wounds, but lost some buddy’s and a lot did get wounded. My gut feeling is Kerry knew he needed three Purple Hearts to get out of Viet Nam and made it happen and didn’t even complete his year tour of duty and got transfered to guess where!!

After he got discharged from active duty was he still in the reserves? I think everyone had to complete 6 years total. If so how could he protest and do all the things he did after discharge?

There was a six year gap, if I understand it correctly, between the time he left the service and his ‘honorable discharge’. So we’d like to know the circumstances around those purple hearts, and he should just, in short, give the American people what he promised about three years ago.

Check in with Jay at Stop the ACLU; Kerry calls the Military Uneducated and Lazy

At the California Conservative, there’s a post called Attention: Sen. John Kerry — A Real Soldier Explains “why i serve”. With the growing phenomenon of posers who claim military service without barely having had any if any at all, it’s important, in my opinion, to pursue the release of Kerry’s records, even though he tried releasing a portion of them to his biographer at the Boston Globe, saying that he was ‘done’.

He’s not done. And neither are we.
