Hilarious. Kerry is exposing himself as the angry little Brahmin he is. I love how the Congressman held up Wood's picture while Kerry was going off the rails trying to justify this insanity. No one is buying it.
I wish the congressman had called Lurch a liar when he told the lie about how he volunteered to fight for his country. The SOB volunteered to patrol the ocean waters offshore from VN because the NVN didn't have a Navy and he would have never have had to fight and still been able to go back home and make political hay off the fact that he "patrolled the shores in a boat similar to the PT boat captained by JFK." When he got to VN and found out he was going to be assigned to a RIVER Patrol Boat where he might really get shot at,he panicked and tried his best to get shipped back to the US by using the excuse that he had only volunteered for off-shore duty.
When he was sent to the PBR's anyhow,he claimed 3 fake wounds so he could get 3 Purple Hearts and get out of there quickly. He even wrote HIMSELF up for a Silver Star while his commander was on leave,and passed the paperwork up to a senior Naval officer who was a family friend to endorse. He got the Silver Star for shooting a wounded VC that was unarmed and unable to move.
On top of that,he spent LESS than 2 months ON a PBR because the first month was spent checking in,being trained on PBR's,and then getting an assignment.
The only "firefight" I ever heard of him being in was one where even he admitted he shot VN women and children with a 50 caliber machine gun from the safety of the armored PBR sitting in the river.
BTW,after getting his Silver Star and his orders back to the states after being "wounded" three times,he spent the rest of his naval career flying the admiral family friend around in his private plane.
When I think of "cowardly punk",he and Bruce Springstein are the two photos that pop into my head.
