The question I have is with all the action Kerry saw(three purple hearts, silver star, bronze star) does he suffer from PTSD and if so what meds is he taking???????????????
He won't release his complete 201 file.....
I would think if he suffers from PTSD this is something voters should know...
Where can I find out if Kerry doesn't release his complete records?????

I run several searches, nada... Although his current and ex wives have both said he occasionally wakes up from nightmares, screaming etc.
I would like to hear Teresa talk about it, cause i htink it's important to hear what she' s having to go through.

Have you looked at Teresa, I would wake up with nightmares too. Kerry only claims ptsd when he is asked to explain the events around his awards. I saw him in one interview when asked specific questions he replied "It's to painful to talk about". It's to painful to let the truth out is what he means. It is an easy cover to avoid addressing the questions. Semper Fi.

"Too painful to talk about" ..... ????
"It is so wonderful to obsess about" .... is more likely

John Kerry: Stuck in a Vietnam-era time warp
Why does Sen. John Kerry (D-Mass.) talk incessantly about Vietnam?
Obviously, it has given him a great political advantage in past campaigns,
and he hopes it will do the same in his race for the White House.
But there might be another reason. Perhaps more than any other
presidential candidate in recent memory, Kerry seems to be living in
another time, playing a movie of Vietnam over and over in his mind.
In fact, he is often playing an actual movie of Vietnam over and over on
his television.
Consider this scene from a remarkable profile of Kerry published in the
Boston Globe in October 1996, when Kerry was in a tough re-election
battle.
Kerry told reporter Charles Sennott the oft-repeated story of the February
1969 firefight in which Kerry attacked the Viet Cong who ambushed his
Swift boat.
Kerry won the Silver Star, as well as a Purple Heart, for his efforts.
But the story wasn’t about the firefight itself. It was also Kerry’s reaction to it.
The future senator was so “focused on his future ambitions,” Sennott
reported, that he bought a Super-8 movie camera, returned to the scene,
and re-enacted the skirmish on film.
It was that film, transferred to videotape, that Kerry played for Sennott.
“I’ll show you where they shot from. See? That’s the hole covered up with
reeds,” Kerry said as he ran the tape in slow motion.
Kerry told Sennott that his decision to re-enact the fight on film was no big
deal — “just something I did, no great meaning to it.” But it’s clear that the
old movie is a huge deal.
“Through hours of watching the films in the den of his newly renovated
Beacon Hill mansion, it becomes apparent that these are memories and
footage he returns to often,” Sennott wrote.
“Kerry jumps repeatedly from the couch to adjust the Sony large-screen
TV in his home entertainment center, making sure the picture is clear, the
color correct. He fast forwards, rewinds and freeze-frames the footage. His
running commentary — vivid, sometimes touching, sometimes self-serving
— never misses a beat.”
In John Kerry’s home entertainment center, it’s always 1969. It’s
sometimes that way in his campaign, too.
Is Kerry’s the only campaign to play Jimi Hendrix — specifically, “Fire”
from the 1967 album “Are You Experienced?” — at rallies?
Other candidates — like John Edwards, with his theme song, John
Mellencamp’s “Small Town” — aren’t exactly cutting-edge, but they have
chosen somewhat newer stuff.
And what about the music on Kerry’s bus? Before the Iowa caucuses,
Washington Post reporter Ceci Connelly described the candidate hanging
out on the bus with Peter Yarrow, his old antiwar friend from Peter, Paul,
and Mary.
“Pedro, sing us a song,” Kerry ordered one day. Yarrow picked up a guitar
and began to play and sing — and later waxed nostalgic about the antiwar
rallies he attended way back when with Kerry and Sen. Eugene McCarthy.
Earlier, Connelly wrote, when Yarrow sang “Puff the Magic Dragon” at an
event in a private home in Ames, Iowa, “Kerry lifted his fingers to his
mouth for a quick take on an imaginary joint. You can almost see his thick
mane of silver hair returning to the shaggy brown do of those days.”
Even Kerry’s latest sound bite, the speech in Ohio on Tuesday in which he
described President Bush as a “walking contradiction,” was apparently a
reference to the old days.
In this case, it was Kris Kristofferson’s “The Pilgrim, Chapter 33 “ from
1970, with its line, “He’s a walking contradiction, partly truth and partly fiction.”

John Kerry is indeed "a walking contridiction, partly truth and partly fiction"
Would you trust a man who continually lives in a thirty-five year old fantasy?

I have heard it said that his favorite movie is Apocalype Now. Can anyone verify it? It wouldn't surprise me at all...
