You guys sit there and laugh – for SHAME! I remember talking to a grizzled old guy once, who said he’d been fightin’ in ‘Nam before they could speak French…

His unit had been cut-off from a main US assault force, ambushed by 6 reinforced NVA Divisions. The main force made a strategic withdrawal, pending a strike by B-52′s. But lost and surrounded, his unit’s hilltop position looked hopeless…

Things didn’t get much better when the bombs fell way off target, and the NVA pounced upon them in the dawn’s early light. The battle was fierce! Commands were hard to hear or acknowledge through the incessant storm of fire; machine gun barrels were turning red hot, as often times an attempt at replacing them meant certain death. By mid-morning the battle went hand to hand in many places along the perimeter, and the call went out to any who could hear – “Broken Arrow! Broken Arrow!”

The US commanders weren’t certain of the location of their lost unit, and the only way to find them was by aerial reconnaissance. No one on the tarmac wanted to go, but out of the shadows stepped a tall, lankey man, and without a word to no one, commandeered the first Huey and took off! Later on he would say, “I didn’t know where to start, so I flew in the direction of the sound of the guns!” Within 30 minutes he was over the battle, and seeing that the first two lines had been overrun, decided he could not wait for reinforcements….

  …sorry – had to break for breakfast! Anyway –
  
  Having no parachute, he landed the bird in the middle of the fight, grabbed the .50cal in one arm and two boxes of ammo in the other and rallied the men, yelling “Follow me! Do you want to live forever?!?” The men turned and looked, and there stood this lanky tall man, bare-chested and tanned, with his helmet tilted to one side, and carrot-greens sticking out the side of his mouth, machine gun belts swinging in the breeze, and for a moment, they forgot the battle, and stared briefly at an angel…
  “Arrgghh! He yelled, as he charged pell mell into the thick of the fight, the men following, grabbing anything they could fight with and throwing themselves at the enemy! The NVA looked up, and saw that it was no ordinary American coming after them – it was John Kerry!! Word swept quickly across that hill, and the NVA fled like rabbits towards the briers, never to be seen on that hill again! Going back up hill and towards his chopper as other American units arrived in the vicinity, Kerry asked for a cigar, and used it as a torch to repair the stabilizer rotor of his craft, then loaded it up with wounded and took of with as many as he could – he even held on to one out the window as he piloted the craft. When he landed, he slipped, tripped and fell on to the tarmac, hence his three purple hearts.
  
  The old mans name was Kennedy, I think…Ted Kennedy…

  @WOODYEE I’m not sure about this. You could be right. I mean it did come for the Cap Cod Orca and we know he never lied; especially near water. But, i have to say I’m almost sure I saw our hero at the PX in Long Binh that day. He had an ice cream in one hand and a box of bandaids in the other. Pretty sure.

John Kerry fully supports Panetta and the idea of putting women in front line ground combat positions. He feels there may be others out there, like him, who would appreciate the opportunity to hide behind a skirt when the bullets start flying.

The bandaid-neosporin commando also committed treason by meeting with the NVA in Paris while a serving officer in the USNR and while our troops were still engaged in the field. I can’t bear to watch. Is he still cultivating his elitist accent?

  He was forerunner in the attempted disgrace to our great military. I joined in ’79 and I remember those hearings thinking,”how the hell did this idiot not get fragged”?

  This guy is better than good He fragged himself with an accidental discharge of a M79. He then had to get a bandaid for his boo-boo and put himself in for a bogus PH.

  @BRNTOUT He actually claimed later that he pitched his ribbons. That limp wrist could not throw medals very far.

Is anyone familiar with John Kerry’s battlefield experiences? Here are but a few. I hope others can contribute so that we may set the record straight –

I thought I heard Brian Ross say that Algore told him that “Rambo – First Blood Part II” was about SOME of John Kerry’s exploits in ‘Nam…

Did you know that if it weren’t for John Kerry parachuting alone into the Ia Drang in Nov ’65, and taking on the NVA’s 33 Rgmt, that Hal Moore and the 1st of the 7th might have been wiped out? Yeah – they left that part out of the movie…

Did you know that John Kerry’s absence from ‘Nam in the Spring of ’75 led to the NVA victory in the South?

These are just some of the facts of the Veetnam Whoa (as LBJ would put it) that the Lil’ Lefties know lil’ about…

  What I heard was that just his anticipated presence in the Delta drew away so many Main Force VC and NVA that the Central Highlands would be tolerable for the 1st Cav to operate. The man is amazing.

  Are you for real?He was a Swift Boater, not a parachuter.I would ascertain he is afraid of heights except for his personal political career.

  @ BRNTOUT – no, my friend, you don’t understand. Being a Swift-Boater was just a cover to get him inland. The powers that be KNEW, that if the Red Chinese found out about his presence beforehand, they might invade in support of the NVA.
  
  No – he operated undercover for most of his tour, thus his exemplary performance!

  He had a special MOS that came direct from CINCNAVCOMPACWEST. His code name was Oscillating Richard. He was everywhere and no where.

Who cares? Congress already knows what it is going to do. The opinions of We the People don’t matter. Congress is simply going through the motions.

Kerry is representative of all the left stands for. It is a sad day when the appointments that Obama has made represent the United States of America. They stand for the overthrow of everything the founding fathers stood for.

the mere fact that john mccain is backing this clown tells me that the fix is in.No veteran,especially Vietnam veteran, should ever endorse this guy.My old man is turning in his grave at Arlington.

  It’s not McCains fault – he says that his bad arm acts out on it’s own, and will probably be pushing the button for Kerry. I believe him – don’t you?

Republicans can’t wait to cave-in and confirm this old traitor. John Kerry belongs in prison for his crimes against the United States.

  Agree. He could share a cell with Bill Ayers another 60s radical who is still trying ” his best to destroy capitalism.” What a crew in the White House today.

Screw THis!

We’ve got 5 year olds being terrorized for paper cut-outs,

and you want to distract us with a done-deal appointment of a man who single-handedly threw back an entire NVA Division while supporting the retreat of US Naval Forces in the Mekong?
