Kerry Spokesman stripped of Silver Star.

I wouldn't even question his motives. Not everyone signs up because they want to serve their country. Some just want the paycheck and benifits but all the same it's O.K. with me.

Now his motives after getting out is another thing. Karma took care of that though.
 
Often, very often, vets lie about their service. I experience it all the time. The cook suddenly becomes Special Forces. The mechanic, a Recon Marine. The desk clerk, a Navy SEAL. It's disgusting. That's why I don't believe people who brag. Braggarts bring shame upon themselves and the military.

Birds of a feather. It shows that the guy that supported Kerry's legitimacy is a pedophile and a liar.

Well, Gee. A Republican talk show host here in Houston was convicted of molesting a child. I guess that makes all Republicans pedophiles too, by your logic.

That principle may just apply to politicians that apdst and 1perry don't like. I haven't heard back from them yet.

Haven't heard if Wade Sanders is the person who nominated Kerry for the Silver Star either.

I never mentioned the guys preferences for little kids. What does that have to do with me?

...Perhaps it speaks to Kerry's ability to judge character, but not to Kerry's credibility.

I see.
Does this apply to everyone or just politicians that you dislike?

Yes, I believe they both lied about their service record.
 
Nice work as usual, Simon.

Sanders didn't work with Kerry in Vietnam.

Kerry was nominated for the Silver Star by one of his commanders.

Did I say anything about all Democrats? No? I didn't think so.

Sounds like this guy is a pervert at least, but doesn't seem like that has anything to do with the Vet truthers saying one thing 40 years ago, but saying the opposite 7 years ago. They are no more believable regardless of what this guy did.

How do you get that many people to tell the same lie, over and over and over? It's impossible.

He served his own political agenda by going to Vietnam??

Seems that the right really respects the troops...at least the ones who aren't Democrats. Which is your real issue isn't it? Kerry is a Democrat. If he were a Republican you'd be asking for proof.

Partisan hackery at it's most pathetic.

I bet you still believe that Bush was AWOL.

It sounds like he lost his medal because he violated child porn rules, not because he was deemed a liar in terms of his service.... WTF.

Actually, being stripped of the award has nothing to do with the child porn charge.

The fact that you didn't know that is why this part of your post comes as no surprise:

Why are you so hellbent on undermining the sacrifice of soldiers all the time on this board all the time?

The alledged lies of the Swift Boat vets. They were all called liars. How do you get that many people to keep telling the same lie and to date, no one has come forward to confess to lieing? It would be impossible to do.

Few of the Swift Boat Veterans for "truth" were in a position to lie about Kerry, as very few of them actually served with Kerry.

For example . . . None were present at the Silver Star incident -- except one, and he supported Kerry receiving that award.

Which lie? Some of the same people who said they respected Kerry and his service before Kerry ran for President changed their minds after he announced. The question is, when were they lying?
