Unfit For Command Thread

A new book written by John E. O'Neill and Jerome R. Corsi show the real side of John Kerry, and how he's not the real war hero everyone thinks he is. With interviews from his crewmates, This book features some interesting facts, like

How all three of John Kerry's Purple Hearts were for minor injuries, easily treated with band-aids, not requiring a single hour of hospitalization. Two of those injuries were self inflicted, and the third injury was a bite to the mouth from a gerbil.

John Kerry entered a Vietnamese village and slaughtered the domestic animals owned by the civilians and burned down their homes with his Zippo lighter.

These are just some of the grueling details covered in the book. Can a whiner like kerry be fit for presidency?

i was about to post somthing about that. i just wached a small vido clip that my dad had recevied a friend that had stuff like that in it.

post it...should be interesting.

I have no idea were he got it from and he just deleted it I will look for it. Any way I have always been able to tell that if kerry was elected there would be trouble.

That can't be true. Purple Hearts do come from injury in active duty, but you can't just get scratched or bitten by a fucking gerbil to get a Purple Heart. They don't waste their medals on those types of injuries. They are a prestigious award.

I don't see how Bush is any more fit for command. At least Kerry actually spent time in active duty, fighting against the enemy as his country asked of him. Bush went AWOL, and he was only in the Air National Guard. He wasn't even in a true military outfit. I get really angry with that hypocracy, and I am pissed off that people are using it against Kerry while Bush has less qualifications than Kerry. Legitimate medals or not, Kerry fought in Vietnam. Bush hasn't fought anyone but the People.

You don't have to fight in war tio be a good leader, Many presidents have never graced a battlefield. Purple hearts aren't as pretigious as you might think. Any injury sustained while in active duty gives you one.

umm no I kinda agree with 40oz the way my dad got one is almost get blown up by this little kid that chunked a gernade at him...

Princeton university defines a Purple Heart as "A United States military decoration awarded to any member of the armed forces who is wounded in action".

PsychoBrat defines a Purple Heart as "A United States military decoration awarded to any member of the armed forces who is wounded in action, in order to blind them with pride so that any rational consideration of leaving the armed forces as a result of such an experience does not eventuate, and therefore the United States armed forces do not lose any of their ever so valuable cannon fodder out of action".

Oh yeah, then how about someone losing their legs in action? They only get one purple heart, but that doesn't mean they're blinded to staying. We'll call it permanent leave. Purple Hearts range from the minor to the severe, so it doesn't really matter if it causes people to stay or leave, since there's not a "poll" or anything to prove that...

DId you know He killed an antire village's live stock and then burned the village down whith his lighter. Any way kerry is trying to make his injurys sound alot worse then they really were in order to make himself look like a big hero.

Your crazy. John Kerry inflicted himself for the first purple heart. The medic who treated him will even tell you that. He freakin cheated. He just got those purple hearts just to blind the liberalistic people who are for John Kerry. He is against everything America is about.

actuslly, he inflicted the first 2 injuries. Also, my uncle was given a purple heart when he was poked accidentally by his friend with a bayonette during Desert Storm. He only had one stitch and he didn't even know he was gonna get a purple heart.

Right now He is playing up how he is this big war hero. but as soon as he was discharged he became An anti war activist. There are som that belive that he was trying to be the next JFK. But when he came home he found no support so he he became an anti war activist.

He's nothing more than a war pussie. Its the truth.

Fighting in a war is being a pussy? I dont think you can call anyone who has held a gun in their hands and faced down people who where bound to kill them in a foriegn land a pussy.

And like gunrunner said " You don't have to fight in war tio be a good leader, Many presidents have never graced a battlefield."

Lol, kerry never faced his opposition. He just joined them. Did you know that Kerry shook the hand of the Leader of North Vietnam during the war. North Vietnam was who we where fighting against, to prevent there communist ways from reaching Southern Vietnam. Kerry helped the communist north to win the vietnam war. Kerry also opposed the war, adding to his evil deeds.

Conflicting story.

Funny site with the word "commie" in it alot.

Either way, He went to Vietnam. He still won a silver and bronze star. He still focused on the issues that bug me. Any slander is moot to me. Compared with Bushes blunders and lies, John Kerry is still my choice.

I wonder how many of us could withstand the horror of a tour in Vietnam. That war was a nightmare that should not be forgotten. It stands as one of America's biggest mistakes, and will continue to.

My father was in Vietnam, and to this day, he will not talk about his experiences there. He suffered from a nervous breakdown after a Congestive Heart Failure, and I remember walking out of the shower seeing him laying on the ground, telling me. "Get down, Get down or your head will be blown off by one of those gook sons of bitches."

Don't argue with me about Vietnam. Any man who went to Vietnam deserves respect for doing so.

It wouldn't be a mistake if John Kerry didn't help North Vietnam win. It wouldve been one of the best things weve done if we won. Guess John Kerry is considered the Devil Incarnate, helping the evil win over good.

By the way, please visit this flash animation. It talks about the things about John Kerry. Some which may even scare you. Scaryjohnkerry.com

How did he help them win? Because he met with them? That is hardly a tratiours charge.... ecspecially when it was at a peace conference.

I watched that flash video and the only part that scared me was the reiterations of "godless communists" Is macharthism coming back in style?

Well while I am not the biggest fan of Kerry I do respect him for even going to Vietnam the thing I hate the most about him is he came back and protested the war... he is kinda two faced.

I KNOW this is the Cosmos section and I KNOW that it's meant for more than one-liners, but I thought this would be an appropriate time to post this: www.jibjab.com.. Watch the cartoon called 'This Land'. It makes fun of both presidential cantidates, especially John Kerry's emphasis on his 'valiantly won' three purple hearts.

@ Hate|3reed: Most use the term 'oppurtunist'

hehe, evilfish. That was one funny cartoon. Your right. They both have problems, but either one will just create one outcome. America united, we are the best nation in the world both ways.

*continues whistling 'This Land'

I agree completely. America is supposed to be a country where the people rule, not the president and, ultimately, the power really is in our hands. Regardless of who is elected, the oppurtunist 'waffler', or the a-little-too-dim international enemy, we the people need to stop bickering about who is our representative and take matters into our own hands. I've already begun plans for a not-for-profit organization online that promotes just that.

On topic: Kerry is a friggin' oppurtunist, quasi-liar, and all-around untrustworthy individual. 'nuff said. I'll take my chances with the dim guy.

I couldn't have said it better myself. Good one evilfish. Although we need a president to be used as a face of America. We can just have the whole USA on camera telling what we will do to make america better. Thats somewhat why we need a president. To address the USA on what we will do to make it better.

And Bush hasn't been doing the same thing? He will hide everything in private and only say positive things in public. He won't discuss how he was wrong about the weapons of mass destruction, that there are more people dead in Iraq then has been told to the public, or why he flew the bin Laden family out of the US days after the 9/11 attacks, and why he's doing this war just for oil.

Hate to break it to you, but we wouldn't be any better off electing Bush back into office. If I could choose either, it'd be Kerry. He knows what it's like to fight a war that lost all of its meaning. The reason he came back to fight the war was because while he was over there, it dawned on him that we were there for no reason at all; just to die. He wanted to be just like his father, which is why he volunteered into the service. He wants to make sure that we're doing things right, that we're getting help from the UN and from countries around the world. Our foreign relations are at their worse, aand Bush's approval ratings are plummeting. We need to get this jerk out of office and bring in someone who can turn all of this terrible stuff around,. and that man is John Kerry.

Besides, I don't feel like being Drafted, thank you very much.
