Kerry Flipflops and claims he will now release military records
The documents also included declassified reports that explain Kerryâs wounds that led to his Purple Heart awards. They show Kerry had shrapnel wounds in his left thigh after his boat came under intense fire on Feb. 20, 1969, and he suffered shrapnel wounds in his left buttocks and contusions on his right forearm when a mine detonated close to his boat on March 13, 1969.#3 is shrapnel in the behind? how appropriate! The campaign could not locate a similar report for Kerryâs original Purple Heart. As evidence that Kerry was wounded, Meehan showed The Associated Press a "Sick Call Treatment Record" from Kerryâs personal files that included a medicâs written note dated Dec. 9, 1968. "Shrapnel in left arm above elbow. Shrapnel removed and appl bacitracin dressing. Ret to Duty." Is this where he showed up with a scratch on his arm AND holding a piece of shrapnel IN HIS HAND???? Documentation for the second two injuries show that Kerry was deemed to be in good condition and returned to active duty after treatment. But a third Purple Heart meant Kerry could be reassigned out of Vietnam, and a document dated March 17, 1969, said Kerry requested duty as a personal aid in Boston, New York or the Washington, D.C., area. This is technically legit, but you wonder about the guys who were in Vietnam, and had worse problems. This seems awful odd. Three ultra minor wounds, though it must have been frightening at the time. Owing to the fact we lost 50000+ can he look himself in the mirror seriously. He was an OFFICER! They are supposed to be examples... Posted by: Anonymous4052 2004-04-20 |
