"Machine-gun nest". You've been watching too many WW-II movies. Everything since has been gorilla style, house to house battles.
No one got the key to my footlocker.
From your writings, you'd be much like John Kerry. ONE of his PURPLE HEARTS, came from Kerry firing a grenade launcher too close to his boat. Kerry got a sliver of shrapnel in his shoulder. He slept in his tent that night and the Doc. removed it with a tweezer the next morning and put a Bandaid on his shoulder. Kerry put in for a Purple Heart.
Please supply the evidence that Kerry "put in " for a purple heart. And it's obvious to me, that in combat you're the kind of guy who would always be looking for a place to hide. I never knew a tough guy who had to brag. LOL
KERRY’S C.O. DISPUTES VALIDITY OF FIRST “WOUND”
Grant Hibbard of Gulf Breeze, Fla., a retired Navy officer, told MilitaryCorruption.com he was the commanding officer to whom Kerry reported his “battle wound” on Dec. 3, 1968.
“I had confirmed that there was no hostile fire that night and that Kerry had simply wounded himself with an M-79 grenade round he fired too close. He wanted a Purple Heart, and I refused.”
The former Navy commander said Louis Letson, the base physician, saw Kerry and used tweezers to remove a tiny piece of shrapnel – about 1 centimeter in length and 2 millimeters in diameter – from the lieutenant j.g.’s (junior grade) forearm.
“Letson confirmed that the scratch had been self-inflicted when Kerry clumsily used the M-79.”
It’s been more than 35 years since the incident, but Hibbard still recalls Kerry’s actions with disgust.
“It is unacceptable to nominate yourself for a combat award. It compromises the basic military principle that we survive together.. To promote yourself is to denigrate your team . . . Kerry orchestrated his way out of Vietnam [in four months – a third of the required tour of duty] and then testified, under oath, before Congress that we, his comrades, had committed horrible war crimes..
“This testimony was a lie and slandered honorable men. We, who were actually there, believe he is unfit to command our sons and daughters.”
WHAT MANNER OF MAN IS THIS?
When Kerry was caught in a much-repeated lie about how it was “seared” in his memory that he spent Christmas (1968) on his swift boat upstream in Cambodia – maybe he dreamed that fantasy up after watching Martin Sheen perform derring-do in the movie“Apocalypse Now” – campaign handlers tried to explain it away by saying their guy must have been “mistaken” – it was January 1969 when the self-proclaimed “warrior” was on a secret mission in a place no U.S. Navy craft were authorized to be.
You see, Kerry said many times that the terrible, evil Richard Nixon (BOO!), had ordered him on his “secret missions” into Cambodian waterways. Trouble was, in December 1968. Lyndon Johnson was still the President of the United States. Nixon wasn’t to be inaugurated until January 20, 1969.
There were other problems too. Kerry claimed to have come under fire by the Cambodian Khmer Rouge, the rebel Communists. That was a neat trick, as leader Kieu Samphan didn’t organize the Khmer Rouge until 1970!
Anyone who knows how much noise the swift boats made chugging up the Mekong or Bassac Rivers, would realize any Kerry tall tales of clandestinely inserting CIA agents or forward recon teams into Cambodia was yet another lie.
What manner of man is this, who would have us elect him commander-in-chief of the armed forces, when he fabricates and falsifies his own “heroics?” As well as his military records?
