Kerry 'Nicked Himself' With M-79, Vietnam Veteran Tells Robert Novak
(CNSNews.com) - Columnist Robert Novak has just interviewed a retired rear admiral who says he was in the same boat as John Kerry the morning of Dec. 2, 1968, when Kerry "nicked himself with a M-79 [grenade launcher], then asked for a Purple Heart. According to Novak's column, retired Rear Adm. William L. Schachte Jr. "until now has refused to speak out publicly on this question." Schachte is quoted as saying he "didn't want to get involved" with Swift Boat Veterans for Truth, but he changed his mind after seeing his "credibility challenged" in the media. Democrats have said that Schachte was not on Kerry's boat that morning. Kerry's folks shouldn't be attacking old admirals. They know where the skeletons are buried. Posted by: ed 2004-08-27 |
