Most of the guys who got a little scratch that didn't even require missing a 1/2 day of work, didn't put in for a Purple Heart. But Kerry made sure he put in for his.

Says who? Kerry.

No point with you, JP5..Absolutely no point!!

You guys can rant and rave all you want to that Kerry is a war hero. That isn't going to change a thing.

Fact: there are MANY testimonies from Vietnam Vets who refute Kerry's stories...up to and including his former commanding officer.

We'll all believe which side we think has more veracity, but you liberhaters will never get America to believe that Kerry's Vietnam experiences are NOT highly questionable....based upon the testimonies of OTHER vets WHO WERE THERE. (as if his "war protester days with Hanoi Jane weren't enough anyway....)

Sucks for you!! Ha ha!!

Okay, here's another link. It's from his campaign, but the source is his Navy medical records: http://www.johnkerry.com/about/john_kerry/medical.html

There is a discrepancy: This says the shrapnel was left in his left thigh, not his left arm. He was also wounded in his left arm, but they took the shrapnel out.

But it appears that he IS carrying a piece of metal around in his body.

Let me help you, RAY...because you are using his website, "his detractors" will tell you its false:

BTW..He arranged with the VietCong to have the shrapnel inserted into his body because he knew he would need that "excuse" in 2004!

The charge that Kerry took along 8mm equipment in order to document his heroics in vietnam, and the asserted history of this man claiming since age twelve to aspire to the presidency, should support the aphorism "American Dream".

This man did what every mother would be proud of their son for doing. Setting a lofty goal and following a plan to achieve that goal.

So focused has John Kerry been on acheiving this ultimate reality, he has taken little time to discover what a deplorable, narcissistic "doorknob" he has become. ( Or ultimately has always been.)

So absorbed in his own selfish interest, he has exhibited little time in service of others. Accounts and examples of his self-righteous attitude and elitist perspective are so apparent to anyone who rightly identifies with truth, has any modicum of common sense, and at the very least has access to media other than CNN.

Kerry supporters, consumed with their own indignation of "good" policy and contempt of truth, support this behavior and must justify it by resisting what they know to be right. Ultimately afraid of losing personal liberty to "be bad", the left wants to take over religion, morality and the code of conduct for a 'civilized' society. Selfishness and the fear of "God", in any form, is the basis for the left's attack on everyone else.

A good example of Kerry's selfishness was displayed during his acceptance speech at the DNC where Kerry was so anxious to hear himself talk, he had little patience for applause. Does he really care about this country or is he more interested in his personal indulgences? I vote for the latter... and Bush.

So if he had exercised more patience for "applause", you would not be calling him "self-serving", would you? Do you even know why he unfortunately "rushed" through the speech?

He had time constraints? Regardless, he was not interested in the results of what he said, only in what he said.

Going to Vietnam and 20 years in the Senate aside, right? Oh, right, I forget that some people argue that Kerry's decision to get shot at was "selfish."

So ,then, you have the direct line to truth?

Quite a broad, shallow brush you have there.

This makes no sense on the face of it. Doesn't applause mean approval, which any self-respecting egoist would bask in? As well, didn't Dick Cheney recently chide an audience for applauding because he wanted to keep talking?

Again, that logic doesn't follow. Bush is the poster boy for personal indulgences and selfish agendas. Please, show me all the time he has spent in "service to others."
