Default Re: Interview with Van Odell, Swift Boat Veterans for Truth

I can’t help that think not all of these vets directly served with kerry ,but would like to step into the lime light because they served the same position or company,I just can’t believe everyone of these I hear ,


a radio show I listen to was attacking kerry’s claim for one of his purple hearts ,{note:1} the first one was supposed self inflicted, which did not require nothing more than pull out a piece of shrapnel and a band aid ,and kerry demanded a purple heart ,he shot into some bush and his own bullet ,quote: boomeranged back and hit him ,this is the story told by the doctor that alleged treated him ,and is now on a commercial claiming this with other vets ,but there has been no proof of this doctor serving ,and he doesn’t deserve the medal because it was self inflicted

anyway,not defending kerry as kerry ,but as a sideline view ,I have a few questions of my own

where do you get these boomerang bullets?, I don’t want any one those
Since when can a enlisted soldier demand a medal and get it?
Who decided at the time a scratch deserves a purple heart ?,so I suspect there is more to it
Why is only the one medal being argued ,what was the other two for ,no one seems to know?

If in fact the wound was self inflicted ,and this is cause not to get a medal ,this should mean that every soldier that has received one for a similar injury doesn’t deserve one
,and then why stop there ,this should include friendly fire of all types ,it could have very well came from the guy standing next to him


ok now ,I can’t stand kerry for who he is ,and what he did when he came back during the protest ,and interviews was wrong ,but he did enlist to serve in the war
