"Fred the Red Shirt" wrote in message om... If there was no enemy fire, or at least enemies present, why was the M-79 grenade fired? You'd have to ask John Kerry. If so, why was the nomination accepted? Unknown. The records have not been revealed. For Mr Hibbard to have first hand knowedge of the incident he would have had to witness it himself. He doesn't ocme out and say one way or the other but it seems that his account is based on what he heard from others, including Kerry, making it second hand, not firsthand. Hibbard spoke with other crewmwmbers, who indicated there was no enemy fire. Their information is first hand. Did you see this in USA TOday, or did you get it from somewhere else? I saw it in USA Today. Except for an accompanying photo of Kerry and it's caption, it's a direct scan. Oh, so Bush did get out of serving in Vietnam. Smart move, IMHO. Mine too. I have seen only a handful of ads for Kerry and do not recall them even mentioning his service in Vietnam. I have seen more than a handful and many have touted his Vietnam service. You can check out his website he http://www.johnkerry.com/index.html I see no mention of his military service at all on the frontpage and only two sentences devoted to it in his biography. Do you know if it was more prominent before the questions about his first Purple Heart were raised? Ofhand, I'd have to say that your statement "Vietnam has been the key issue in their campaign to defeat Bush." is completely unfounded. AFACT, Iraq has been the key issue in their campagn to defeat Bush. But you indicated you've not seen many of his ads. I have. |
