What is longer Than John Kerry's Vietnam Tour?

And it is not Clinton's Black Book.

Kerry Vietnam tour: 120 Days

Kerry Promised to sign his 180 form: 127 days ago.

And so it goes.

As someone who has never served in a war, I would not belittle anyone's service, be it 180 days or several years.

Dont lecture to me. I can match you scar for scar.


Where did I lecture you?

I said that I will not belittle his service because I do not have the moral high ground to do so.

I'm really surprised and disappointed in your "scar for scar" comment.

If I mis read you, I appologize.  I took your 'never served' comment to mean that I have no room to talk.  As one who has lost friends and family and the only thing that kept me out was a college deferment was that I was a coward.

My comment was not directed at you; I don't presume to know your entire background. I was just speaking for myself.

I think most Americans, myself included, have friends and family members who have served in our nation's wars and have lost loved ones as a result. I have nothing but respect and gratitude for those who serve, and that extends to those close to you who have sacrificed as well.

My Appologies.  I am sorry I did not get yoru meaning the first time.

I can add very well.  And thank you for subbing in for the Fazz and helping me with my spelling.

I would also suggest you read the accounts of his crew mates, in contradiction to his book, for a better understanding of his 'Gridley' Service.  Be careful what you read from Kerry.  A proven liar and exagerator.

no accounts are necessary to count out the days he served during his two terms. you know the time he spent during his 2nd term was longer than 120 days. more than that, however, by deliberately denying his service aboard the gridley, you're insulting the entire crew with whom he sailed.

In Vietnam:> The life expectancy of an American machine gunner was 7.5 sec after a firefight began. The cold statistics that measured a second lieutenant's combat life expectancy in minutes and seconds, not hours. USAF ParaRescue, who's life expectancy in Vietnam was often measured in seconds after insertion for pilot rescue missions.

Of course these statistics are about people who served as American soldiers in Vietnam - John Kerry was a volunteer.

Apparently you did not read either the link, or my blog, short as it is.

I insult no one.  Seems that job has been taken by Kerry himself.

Since Kerry was Navy, I am not sure how that relates.

How long does it farking take?


Until everybody has forgotten about it. Remember he tried to distance himself from his anti-war activities and sweep it under the rug for years when that benefited him. I think he is just hoping this will disappear. It took a Presidential election to remind the general public IMO what type of opportunistic slime ball Politician he is and Officer he was. P.S. and I have room to talk.

Why are we arguing about the value of Kerry's service? The article was about his stalling when asked to produce his 180 form, is it not?

Sure, Dr G.'s title was tongue in cheek, but let's stick to the issue. Bush bared his, time for a peek at Kerry's already. How long does it farking take?

I am nothing if not sarcastic.

I agree that he is waiting for it to disappear.  But what he fails to understand is that while CNN, ABC, CBS, NBC, MSNBC and the NY Times wont bring it up, many others will.  It is not going to work this time.

The hilarious part of the whole 2004 election cycle was seeing liberals praising the Vietnam War as Service to the country, and trying to cover up the actions of one of the most vocal war protesters! That whiplash must have caused all sorts of brain slosh. ;~D

No one is faulting him for that.
