Kerry and Apocalypse Now: Not Just a Joke Anymore

2004-08-11

A reader sent Instapundit a fax of the Boston Herald story in which Kerry says he went to Cambodia on Christmas, 1968:

On more than one occasion, I, like Martin Sheen in "Apocalypse Now," took my patrol boat into Cambodia

In fact, I remember spending Christmas Day of 1968 five miles across the Cambodian border being shot at by our South Vietnamese Allies who were drunk and celebrating Christmas. The absurdity of almost being killed by our own allies in a country in which President Nixon claimed there were no American troops was very real. But nowhere in "Apocalypse Now" did I sense that kind of absurdity.

What is it with Democrats and movies?

#10 Here we have photographic proof of a secret AF-Navy operation where Skeery bravely Skied Cambodia... humiliating Charlie, Chuck to those who bravely knew him well... [he took this picture, in fact...] or was it off Martha's Vineyard at that big drunken beach orgy? He can't recall, but the facts are seared, seared, in his, um, memory. They made him an honorary Seal, Eagle, Duck, and Jackass - and secretly gave him the Congressional Medal of Animals. He would reveal the award to the press to prove his fitness to overhaul Healthcare, but he threw it over a fence, sort of, cuz it got him laid by the hippie chick with the big personalities. Those pictures are available for the low low price of $29.95! Just click the link at then end of this advertisement - you did realize this was just another come-on to filch money for pr0n, didn't you? Heh, sure. Skeery's a wanker. Who really cares about politics? It's about power and money and gettin yer rocks off.

Hey! Kerry needed something to fill up the last 2 months of a 6 month tour he never completed.

BTW, if 4 months of a Vietnam tour means he's qualified to lead the most powerful country on earth. Then that means that there are tens of thousands of enlisted Vietnam vets that served 12 months (or more) that are WAAAAAYYY more qualified than scary Kerry right?

Deeds not words Kerry. Wounded 3 or 4 times and never had to be hospitalized....uh...No. (Maybe he got hurt on the set of one of those movies.)

(For the fellow vets out there)
When your ENTIRE chain of command says that you're a shitbag then chances are, they're right. Can I get an AMEN on that?
