Brooks, please note the the use of III.



Your elaborate family tree appears to need some editing:

From the beginning of http://www.generalpatton.com/biography.html

"BIOGRAPHY OF GENERAL GEORGE S. PATTON, JR.
One of the most complicated military men of all time, General George
Smith Patton, Jr. was born November 11, 1885 in San Gabriel, California."



Have a good day.



Heh.


Wow, San Gabriel! Same place I was born. I'm just not as famous. Hmm,
I have maybe another 40 years to work on that!

In May 1972, the Boston Phoenix reported that Kerry had defiantly
given his medals back to the U.S. government during one of his many
protests. New York Times columnist Bill Keller wrote in September
2002 that the senator invited him to view 40 minutes of films Kerry
made depicting his war exploits. Keller wrote that anti-war doves
would still support the man they remembered for "throwing his war
ribbons onto the steps of the Capitol."

When pressed about what happened to his medals, Kerry now says
the medals he threw away were not his and that his are displayed in his
Senate office.

Retired General George S. Patton III would later angrily charge that
Kerry's actions had "given aid and comfort to the enemy."

Supremely arrogant and demonstrably contemptuous of the voting public,
Kerry nevertheless regularly touts his military experience during his
presidential run. But he forfeited the right to do that 30 years ago.

Come to think of it, if he continues to posture as a war hero, he'll lose
the friendship of Ramsey Clark, Angela Davis, and the Daily World.

Didn't Patton die in 1945??

George S. Patton, Jr. did, yes.

Making all of this a little suspect.

Why? Patton had a son named George S. (Who took command of the 2nd
Armored Division in 1974.)

Didn't Patton die in 1945??

The quote supposedly was from Patton III.

Kerry says he knows something about Aircraft Carriers.

It's not a very good one, and ignores the wider "problems" with Kerry as
this thread points out. It's not simply VVAW.

Nah, this is a good thread. We are talking about the military record
of a war veteran who if elected president will be the commander in
chief, of the air force as well as other branches.

Furthermore, he's a pilot.

I'm interested in Kerry, and I'm interested in what he did with his
medals.

I certainly do not want, in any way, shape, or form, to denigrate the
service performed by the "Brown Water Navy" in Viet Nam. Pushing
patrol boats up and down the Mekong delta, from all accounts, was not
exactly healthy.

That being said, the concept that Kerry thinks he knows about about
aircraft carriers "I know a little something about aircraft carriers
for real" (from the E. Clift article) is so laughable it is pathetic.
Kerry didn't serve on a carrier, he served in patrol boats. Dan
points out, and I've no reason to doubt him, that Kerry is a pilot.
Okay, fine, but let's not translate that into his being a naval
aviator/carrier operator. In Kerry's case the equation: --Naval
Officer + pilot = Naval Aviator = knowledge of aircraft carriers-- is
a non starter. I'm not a naval aviator, don't claim to be, but I live
with a retired naval aviator, WWII fighter pilot & ace, post WWII
squadron commander, air group commander, aircraft carrier commander, &
carrier division commander - who really does know a little something
about aircraft carriers - and when he hears this Kerry "I know a
little something about aircraft carriers for real" business and he
just laughs & shakes his head.
