If he signs the Form 180, are they afraid he will be shown that he recommended himself for a purple heart?
Q: Did Kerry want you to recommend him for a Purple Heart?
Hibbard: Yes, that was his whole point. He had this little piece of shrapnel in his hand. It was tiny. I was told later that Kerry had fired an M-79 grenade and that he had misjudged it. He fired it too close to the shore, and it exploded on a rock or something. He got hit by a piece of shrapnel from a grenade that he had fired himself.
The injury was self-inflicted, that's what made sense to me. I told Kerry to "forget it." There was no hostile fire, the injury was self-inflicted for all I knew. Besides, it was nothing really more than a scratch. Kerry wasn't getting any Purple Heart recommendation from me.
Q: How did Kerry get a Purple Heart from the incident, then?
Hibbard: I don't know. It beats me. I know I didn't recommend him for a Purple Heart. Kerry probably wrote up the paperwork and recommended himself, that's all I can figure out. If it ever came across my desk, I don't have any recollection of it. Kerry didn't get my signature. I said "no way" and told him to get out of my office. [quote][/quote] |

I agree. The request for the Form 180 should be the drum sound.
I think the fear is the blatant insignificance of the injuries. The Purple Heart should not be reduced to the level of a bandaid.
Believe me, that's the fear. America will not be able to look past that. The Kerry camp knows it. _________________ The war against terrorism is not that Americans might die rather that we would alter our way of living. If we get to a point where we choose not to go out because of fear, our economy will sink and in the end so will our nation. Vote Bush. |

Maybe (miracles can happen) that famous "investigative reporting" Washington Post will push for the 180, too. It didn't seem too happy about reporting this today:
"Although Kerry campaign officials insist that they have published Kerry's full military records on their Web site (with the exception of medical records shown briefly to reporters earlier this year), they have not permitted independent access to his original Navy records. A Freedom of Information Act request by The Post for Kerry's records produced six pages of information. A spokesman for the Navy Personnel Command, Mike McClellan, said he was not authorized to release the full file, which consists of at least a hundred pages."

TELL US WHAT TO DO AND WE'RE ALL OVER IT!!!!!!!!!!
PEOPLE NEED TO REALIZE THAT ALL HE HAS TO DO IS RELEASE THE DOCUMENTS THEN THE SWIFTVETS ARE PROVEN TO BE LIARS BECAUSE EVERYTHING IN THOSE RECORDS TOTALLY BACKS UP WHAT KERRY IS SAYING AND HAS SAID FOR THE LAST 30+ YEARS.
Honest to Goodness People! What the heck is the deal here? I'm NO rocket scientist and even I realize he's hiding something HUGE in those records!
Give me a break! All the cries to stop the ads, denounce the ads, ban the book, wa-wa-wa-wa-wa.
If he really wants the Swifties to go away - HE'D RELEASE THE FREAKIN RECORDS AND BE DONE WITH IT!!!!!!!
I'M GETTING REAL REAL SICK OF THIS CRAP DAY IN AND DAY OUT. |
