Louis Letson. Are you now going to ask why his name is not on the paperwork? The guy that signed it was his assistant, a nurse if you will. Apparently this was quite common. Also Mr. Letson was the ONLY doctor on the base the entire time he was there. And then?

Yeah, that's what I was waiting for. so basically it's his word against everyone else.

I suppose you know what Hibbard had to say: "Hibbard recalls that Kerry had a "minor scratch" on his arm and was holding in his hand what appeared to be a fragment of a U.S. M-79 grenade, the shrapnel that had caused the wound.

So Hibbard and Leston's reports don't match. But both are honest and truthful men whose recollection of events 35 years prior are razor sharp. Which is correct -- or is either?

Oh, and I gotta say that identifying a piece of shrapnel as small as this one is supposed to be as having come from a specific weapon is absurd. It's just another loaded comment intended to make Kerry look bad.

So Kerry left Vietnam having lead two dozen missions, being recognized twice for valor and having two uncontested purple hearts. But the smear-ers are focusing on one purple heart awarded to him -- Kerry didn't award it to himself -- and it makes you wonder if they're trying to shift the focus from Kerry's accomplishments or from GWBs 'war record.' Or both...

What do you mean they don't match? please elaborate. The way I read it, Leston removed the piece, then Kerry took it to Hibbert saying "look what they took outta my arm". How is it that they don't agree? Also, I do not find it odd that a seasoned combat man would be able to identify scrapnel, maybe I'm wrong there, but I doubt it.

I see Money. People would only say something negative for money, not something positive? You'll have to do better than that.

As far as your comment on tearing people down, what about your boy saying that all these guys are war criminals? Or is that positive because Sherry said it? Before Novemeber this guy will be shown up as the fraud he is. The next time he tells the truth may well be the first time.http://www.sacredcowburgers.com/paro...nt_vertigo.jpg

Hibbard claimed Kerry came to him first. Otherwise, how would he identify the wound as a "scratch"?

=========

The above characters represent a 2cm x 2mm object. Are you seriously telling me it would be readily identifiable?

"Hibbard claimed Kerry came to him first. Otherwise, how would he identify the wound as a "scratch"?"

Uh, easy. After it is removed there is a "wound". Leston said he "put a bandaid on it". Please show where Hibbard(mis spelled last time) said he came to him first? You are wrong. You're saying Kerry's first move would have been to go directly to a Commander asking for a Purlple Heart before being treated? Please, you're really trying too hard. Sometimes the truth is obvious.

If you have any questions about what John Kerry's made of, just spend three minutes with the men who served with him

Another reason to love Nixon...He knew who America's enemy was...He was right, Kerry drove the nail into the coffins of many a Vietnamese peasant, by his actions and words...John O'Neill slaughtered John Kerry on the Dick Cavet show.

I do not understand how you can cast aspersions at John O'Neill, as some sort of opportunist, when Kerry brought a camera to Vietnam, insisted on Purple Hearts for abrasions, stabbed the war effort in the back for political opportunism, married 2 millionaires, and is currently running for the most powerful position in the world...

John O'Neill's motives are suspicious?

wow

One Swift-Boat veteran down, Money, 253 to go...have at it.

Actually not so absurd. A round from a M79/M203 is gold anodized metal. Nothing else looks like it.
