Wow thats a very nice site he's aired on... first glimps is a Number 1 for the day sign and to the left it reads F*(king Stuff?? then goes on to list Porno sites and other crap?? thats a very reputable site AVB...


btw this former gov. seems to have a problem with National Guard members in General??

well from my lips to his Ears... HE CAN GO F*(K HIMSELF!!! and one more thing... HOW Many Names on the Wall are of National Guard Members??? and the Korean Memorials??

with your 30+ yrs you know the American Military Concept... Total Force... National Guard and Reserves Make up the Total Force.. I'm sick and tired of hearing about the Past... you've been pretty silent on the Medals postings I've put up lately?? no rebuttal??

Kerry Will go down by his Own Hands... he fraudulently doctored his Military Records.... the Truth is about to come out and he should be doing time in Levenworth for this at the least!!!!!!!

Hog, you post at least 35% of every message and heading on this site. I don't read them all and respond to fewer. IF I read one of your posts and have soomething I can contribute I will. I don't post just for the sake of filling up space, or at least I try not to.

Nice reply AVB... so what about the questions I asked in the above post?

Yep I sure do post allot on here and allot of headers are mine.. but I feel it relevent information to get out to Other B/SOTL to keep them informed.. not everyone gets a chance to surf and locate Factual Information about the upcoming elections and it's nice to be able to contribute a bit and have discussions on such... I even give them the links to the information I find...

There were 5,977 Reservists killed in Vietnam. For the National Guard: 6,140 served; 101 died. Fairly easy info to find out if you wanted.

The point was stated in the first post. If you can beieve Swift Boaters, you can beieve this. If not, then you don't. I'm not going to change your mind, I just want you (in general)to think.

AVB I did in general think and this Lt Gov. words were in general also... he not only was pointing at Bush but at National Guard as a whole??

so my thoughts about this Lt. Gov. are as follows he's an arrogent self righteous SOB (Takes one to know one, See SonnyLSU's postings LOL) to be slamming the National Guard.. one or many of which he was at one time a Lt. Gov. over!!!!

all in all this was/is one mans opinion to how it was in those yrs.. where I view his opinion as Wrong and who is he preaching to??

I am still asking the question.. how do you feel now knowing Mr. Kerry altered his medals and citations on his website? this is a crime in itself.. and whats that say for a man who wants to be in the Highest office in the land come November?? if he'll shift his own records whats he going to do at the top??

You are assuming things that I don't know. It is a simple thing to compare the website to the official record which, to my knowledge, hasn't been done. If it has I missed it or it wasn't brought to my attention.

yes it is being looked at the official DD 214's and DD 215's... I posted this in the thread below.. and of course their is a large error in his awards and citations...

It will be interesting to see how this pans out. I know the write up in my SRB for my MSM or JSCM (for example) is pretty much what is on the commendation itself.

same as with all mine...

the thing I've cought on Kerry's is that he has 3 citations for the one award and then what Lehey (spelling) had came forward and said.. this was his signiture but not his writing and that he would have remembered writing something like this..

If this all turns out true this is worse than anything these Swifty's are saying...

if True Mr. Kerry should be brought up on charges no if ands or buts about it... Personally I think he should be anyway for Treason to this Nation.. but thats my own point of view... he's a "Yes Man" from the get go and would sink this country deeper if elected...

Sad to see the way this country is turning out...

I believe you mean Lehman, and that is one I don't put too much credibility on. Remembering what you did or didn't write 30+ years ago on a citation is pushing it. What did you write on the Christmas card to your mother in, say, 1980? See what I mean.

it wasn't 30+ yrs ago.. it was 1986 see the Kerry site it shows his citations.. unless they've been yanked down by now?? there is also one writen as early as 2001??

it is my understanding also these are listed in Kerry's book also?? I don't know this for sure because I don't haven't seen one of his books but in either case.. he has hung himself out to dry for these actions if proven fraudulent...

I haven't read Kerry's book either so I can't say. I do agree with the above in the same way that if Bush was found to be AWOL he should pay the price too. The law has to apply to everyone.

well we could also go back to the Clinton Era on Vietnam... his lotto number was drawn and where did he end up during this time frame..

I honestly do not think Bush was Awol..

there is a heavy pissing contest on this issue that has been going on since Bush won the election in 2000...

I know one things for damn sure Bush was Not Awol when he took Office and hasn't been since and after 911 for that matter... he has held steadfast to his determinations after the facts of 911 and I for one Commend him for it.. I have also downloaded Kerry's PLAN from his website all 246 pages I am reading now.. I have got to say it will bring you a good laugh.. and I cannot read it through-out in one sitting... Please download his Plan and read it for yourself and then ask yourself.. is this the direction you want to see these United States headed in??

although also read what he is saying on his campaign trail because as usual he is contradicting what he's (or whoever for that matter) has writen in his Plan....

AVB,

The problem is one of numbers and consistency. While some of the Swift Boat Vets have changed their tune in the last five years, the vast majority have either been consistent in their stance for many years or have been silent because they simply were never asked. Last count there were over 250 SBV's who are unified in their opinion as to Kerry's fitness to serve.

Now you have a former Democratic Lt. Governor from Texas who has maintained from day 1 over the last 30 or so years that there was no undue influence exerted or requested of him by the Bush's to gain deferment for George W. and now, he changes his mind after being consistent for all those years?? What's up with that?? Could it be he works for the Kerry campaign as a major fund raiser?? The simple answer is Yes!! The non-simple answer is that Ben Barnes has stated in sworn deposition that he did not have any undue influence in requesting deferments at all. He has stated at other times (too numerous to account) that he did not receive any personal request from the Bush's.

In the end, you get:
Swift Boat Vets - consistent (granted for the most part) in their renouncement of Kerry over the last thirty or so years... and

Ben Barnes - old story, new story... gotta help Kerry from a sinking Swift Boat.

In conclusion, how can you possibly characterize the voices of 250 decorated veterans as total and complete lies?? Makes no sense unless W is into mass hypnosis or something... and,

how can you possibly charaterize Ben Barnes self and party serving statements as anything but a lie?? Or should I say, "which lie?" then or now.

Bush Campaign = consistent facts or lies (depending on veiwpoint_
Kerry Campaign = quagmire of inconsistent fact or lies (depending on your viewpoint).

The only Swift boaters that count are the 3 boats that were normally with him, the people on his boat, and his CO. The rest may have an opinion (the same as we do) but they have no proof or grounds for it. Some of these people didn't even serve in the same time period.

Units can be tight in combat but to be known by sight and name, especially as a junior officer, by 200+ people is ludicrous. As always, JMHO.
