#1 The thing I don't get with Kerry and others who dream up nutz stories is WHY?
It was good enough he was in the NAM. He would have got some cred being a crooked sarge in CamRanBay making bucks off the one armed bandits in the NCO clubs.
He didn't need to make up stories. Why did he do it?

#3 John, if you want to end this controversy now, release your military records. I know you and your spinmeisters said you filed the request to have the records released two years ago, but we're still waiting to see them John. What's the problem? You being a hero and all, I'm sure the records will back you up.....

#4 Lies! I was in a swift boat with JFKerry in late 69. At one point we disembarked in Cambodia and I witnessed AM (we called him AM after Audey Murphy) personally take out a Battalion of NVA regulars. Of course he filed no report because we were across some imaginary line on a map and the politicians couldnt condone his actions. After some time the locals called him the French Legion because he fought like an entire legion of French (and spoke like them). On one double secret mission a CIA guy was so impressed with AM he gave him his boney hat (secret CIA boney hats were prized). AM would wear the hat while on patrol and the enemy would run away from us with fear. One time AM had had enough and gave chase to a young man armed with a RPG. Although one of our gunners hit him with the 50cal, he managed to slither away towards the jungle. AM found the boy/man and dispatched him with giving him his Miranda rights or letting him surrender. After that we feared AM as much as we feared the VC.

#8 He didn't need to make up stories. Why did he do it?

Because he thinks he's John F. Kennedy, the war hero on a PT boat. That's why he volunteered for Swift Boats when he saw them running around offshore from his ship. That's why he filmed himself recreating what few firefights he was involved in. There are reports from various sources he showed those films over and over again to people who came to his house.

He's told these lies so many times over the years I think he now believes them himself. When he was just a junior senator from Mass, no one questioned him on them. Then he made the mistake of running for president in the age of the internet when anything can be cross-checked.
