I am appalled at McCain's comment: "I do not and will never question anyone's conduct in combat." Does that include William Calley? Does that mean we should never hold investigations or court-martials? Does that mean we should stop requiring witnesses and paperwork for medals? It's a ludicrous statement. |
I agree. I used to admire John McCain, but after some of his comments recently I am changing my mind about him. |

I agree Fort Campbell. Living in AZ, I have been able to vote for McCain a number of times.
From day one, when he call the Swift Boat Vets "dishonorable and dishonest" my view of him has been going steadily down. On that day, I immediately sent him an email, questioning his reasoning. Since then, I have sent 5 or 6 more and have yet to receive a reply.
My last reply was to inform him that he will NEVER get my vote again. _________________ If you have power to run your computer, thank a Nuclear Power Plant Operator. |

The charge by O'Neill that Kerry was 'never in Cambodia' is hard to prove. I would like to be able to address that as 'just one' charge that has not been found to be true. I personally wish that Mr. O'Neill would have been less sweeping in this statement, simply because it is difficult to prove. As for the 'Christmas in Cambodia' story, it has not received enough MSM media attention, and is only one small incident of Kerry stretching the truth, assuming he would never be asked to substantiate such a claim.
I say, pump up the volume. Sooner or later as we get closer to November 2nd, the more that the voting public is aware of Kerry's nuanced wordsmithing, the better off we'll all be. I hope we'll all be able to wear our honor on our sleeve like we'd like to be able to do. |

It's incumbent upon Kerry to "prove" that he was in Cambodia. He cannot, because he was not. Recall how quickly the story from Kamp Kerry changed to "well, it must have been sometime in late January", when he it was pointed out that his complaint about "President" Nixon didn't wash. Then came the Swifty's accusations about Kerry's timeline and the possibility that Kerry had lied.
The burden of proof is not O'Neill's- it's for Kerry to admit that he LIED about Cambodia - among other fabrications. |

Now, that looks like a challenge to me.

I read the NewsMax article containing Del Sandusky's remarks.
This is the genius of John Kerry, dividing Vietnam War veterans, and causing them to turn on each other. John Kerry was divisive in 1970 and 1971 and John Kerry is divisive in 2004.
I don't know Del Sandusky, but I don't have to know him to think he's wrong. I recognize Del Sandusky as one of the standard Navy archtypes, often wrong, never in doubt, always loyal. There's always at least one in every ship, boat, shop, division, department, detachment, station and crew. Now that Del Sandusky seems forever joined at the hip with John Kerry, I'm just not sure who and what Del Sandusky believes in and is loyal to.
Is Del Sandusky one of Kerry's Swifties that's being financially compensated for being part of a traveling Hanoi John dog and pony show?
God bless Del Sandusky he went in harm's way and gave of himself, but I'm glad he doesn't shut up, because he's not helping Kerry as far as I'm concerned.
Even if Del Sandusky gets the Swift Boat vets to shut up, he better pack many lunches, because there is the rest of us that won't shut up. _________________ I'm a U.S. Navy Vietnam War vet against John Kerry
