 |
|
By Maj. Gen. Patrick Brady, U.S. Army (ret.)
| Quote: | "The very day Kerry was calling Vietnam veterans war criminals the family of one of those “war criminals,” Michael Blanchfield, was posthumously receiving the Medal of Honor for Michael who had thrown himself on a grenade to save the lives of his comrades. How different from Kerry was the way this man kept faith with those who wore the uniform with him. How different from Kerry was the manner Michael defended his country."
"Kerry could have attacked the war without attacking the warrior. He could have questioned policy without supporting the communists’ claim that our soldiers were war criminals. He could have kept faith with those who wore the uniform with him. But he did not, and he should be held accountable. Kerry’s “hero” card is based on medals he received in Vietnam and is much celebrated, and unchallenged, by the mainstream media. I know many Medal of Honor recipients who have received less publicity for their medal than Kerry has for his. But medals don’t make a hero. It is goodness and how one uses medals that make a hero. Every honest soldier knows that medals are a function of circumstance, even happenstance, but most of all the support of one’s fellow warriors." |

Wow! About as strong an indictment of the character-challenged Kerry as I've read in quite some time. HOW can McCain roll over for this odious creature?
Thanks Lew. |

Any chance of getting the retired General and others of his stature to testify at the confirmation hearings? Such credentialed opposition would carry some weight, but to the Lilliputians and the menagerie that now comprise the Senate, it might be a waste of time.
