Was Bush a cocaine cowboy dodging his Alabama National Air Guard duties while Kerry served in Vietnam?

You brain washed and braindead conservatives depress me.

You shame the one's that actually served their country: John Kerry, Max Cleland.

    I'm not a Conservative, nor am I brainwashed or brain-dead, but I find your statement pretty ignorant. Kerry, the very man you're praising, disgraced his country back in Vietnam and did so again with is comments about the military. I suggest you pull your head out of your butt and open your eyes to see what a real disgrace looks like. Whether you like it or not, Bush did his time too and if Clinton's bj was meaningless, so is the unsubstantiated statement that Bush did cocaine. However, the facts about Kerry are in plain sight and should be viewed for exactly what they are.....disgracing comments about Vietnam and soldiers willing to defend this country.

    John Kerry's service in Vietnam lasted 4 months and 12 days, beginning in November 1968 when he reported to Cam Ranh Bay for a month of training. His abbreviated combat tour ended shortly after he requested a transfer out of Vietnam on March 17, 1969, citing Navy instruction 1300.39 permitting personnel with three Purple Hearts to request reassignment. So far as we are able to determine, Kerry was the only Swift sailor ever to leave Vietnam without completing the standard one-year tour of duty, other than those who were seriously wounded or killed.

    It is clear that at least one of Kerry's Purple Heart awards was the result of his own negligence, not enemy fire, and that Kerry went to unusual lengths to obtain the award after being turned down by his own commanding officer.

    John Kerry has long insisted that using the three-injury loophole to leave combat early was his own idea, but Kerry's fellow Swift officer Thomas Wright, who served on occasion as the OIC (Officer in Charge) of Kerry's boat group, contradicts that claim. Wright reports that he "had a lot of trouble getting Kerry to follow orders," and that those who worked with Kerry found him "oriented towards his personal, rather than unit goals and objectives." He therefore requested that Kerry be removed from his boat group. After John Kerry qualified for his third Purple Heart, Thomas Wright and two fellow officers informed him of the obscure regulation, and told him to go home. Wright concluded, "We knew how the system worked and we didn’t want him in Coastal Division 11."

    Bush served in the National Guard, but he did not try to be a fake hero, getting all those medals he could not have earned. Now, as when he called his comrades murderers and rapists after Vietnam, he had insulted out armed forces again and claimes he did not mean that. Ha!

    John kerry own soldiers denounced have of what "kerry" claims. If his own brothers (platoon) have no faith in what kerry says why should anyone else.....

  • Could be...but you can't possibly defend Kerry's remarks? It's going to be those "dumb" military kids that will save yours and his butts when we get attacked again! I think he must have been on drugs (prescription or otherwise) that affected his brain when he spoke!

    Kerry shamed himself with his comments....both today and in the 70's.

    Where is your evidence about Bush.....at least evidence that you did not fabricate for news stories?
