SNICKER
Things that make me snicker:
1. "Obviously the failure of Bush to volunteer for the SEALs and spend a season raping and pillaging like Ghenghis Khan 35 years ago is more important than his record as president."
2. "U.S. forces armed with what? Spitballs?"
3. "Do you mean Senator Kerry (D-Vietnam)?"
I know I've been a really lame blogger lately. I was entirely too busy with the class I taught last weekend, my stats class, and my mom's visit. Things will settle down after this weekend and I'll be able to concentrate again.

Regarding the "Spitballs," perhaps you should check facts before applauding Mr. Miller's snide comment.
Cheney, at the time defense secretary, had scolded Congress for keeping alive such programs as the F-14 and F-16 jet fighters that he wanted to eliminate. Miller said in his speech that Kerry had foolishly opposed both the weapons systems and would have left the military armed with "spitballs." During that same debate, President George H.W. Bush, the current president's father, proposed shutting down production of the B-2 bomber -- another weapons system cited by Miller -- and pledged to cut defense spending by 30 percent in eight years.

Now, that is something to snicker at.
YHL. HAND.

Yeah Sarah, TRUST the Washington Post to report 'unbiased' facts. Simply IGNORE the Kerry Amendment, #1452 put forward by Sen. Kerry in 1994, 103rd Congress, 2nd session - with proposed cuts of $6B that even Ted Kennedy voted 'NAY' against. He is an 'internationalist' afterall and anyone who doubts it should check his record for themselves (as I have) at senate.gov - it's clear to see. Dick Cheney has been VP for 4 years, as has President Bush. They didn't serve in Vietnam - but they've served 3 years in the War on Terror. Recent history matters - which is why Kerry can't talk to America about his own worthless record.

PAINTBALL
I've only played paintball once, back when I was in the ROTC class, and I only had one kill that day. It was from very far away and only after I shot about ten million paintballs at him did I finally kill him. But I did hit him, as Cartman would say, squaa in the nuts. Let me at
Osama and Saddam for a repeat performance. Too bad they're just look-alikes.

TREE FIDDY
You know, Kerry's starting to remind me of Chef's father. He couldn't talk about anything without
going back to the Loch Ness Monster; Kerry can't talk about anything without
going back to Vietnam. Or Cambodia. Or not Cambodia, as the case may be. Too bad the Democrats are so blinded by their Anyone But Bush campaign or they'd notice that their candidate has severe problems talking about the 21st century. As a candidate, I'd say he's worth about $3.50.
MORE TO GROK:
Hahaha.
Sure, [General Tommy Franks] got three Purple Hearts, but it took him FORTY YEARS TO GET THEM! What's the matter, Tommy Boy? Bashful? Afraid to get in there and kick the ball around a little? That's alright. TRUE men of valor like John Kerry will take up the slack. It only took Iron Guts Kerry four months to get his three Purple Hearts, plus a Bronze Star, and a Silver Star. Do the math: if Kerry had stuck around for 40 years, he'd have 3600 Purple Hearts, and 120 Bronze and Silver Stars. It would take him a solid month to toss that many medals at the Capitol Building.
Go see how many Purple Hearts everyone else has gotten over the years. I imagine my friend will get one for having most of his torso ripped away...hardly seems like the same thing as Kerry's scratch on the arm.

I'll make sure and tell my husband his shrapnel wound is not as worthy as someone else's injury.::rollingeyes:: I think that a lot of times that peoiple forget when they insult Kerry's Purple Hearts, you are probably also insulting thousands of soldiers who received wounds that people are now deeming not worthy. If you don't like Kerry, fine, there are plenty of other things to pick him apart about without insulting a bunch of people who went and did the right thing.
Posted by: Jen at August 10, 2004 11:15 PM (n8GLX)

I am certainly not saying that people do not deserve Purple Hearts for any injury. However, many believe Kerry's first injury was self-inflicted, and I believe he should've had the integrity to deny a Purple Heart for that. But if he really did get injured bad enough three times in four months that he had to go home, he shouldn't keep acting like he's GI freakin Joe. Lots of people served two full years in Vietnam...or years in POW prisons...and Kerry's little wounds that let him leave are an insult to those people.
When my friend got hit, the Chaplain said that he was cursing and yelling about how stupid it was that he had gotten hit. He wanted back in the fight. Kerry went and signed himself up for a ticket home. Not the same thing.

I'm at the part in Tommy Franks' book where he gets home from Vietnam. His father is looking over his medals, and comments on his son's three Purple Hearts. Franks says something like "Those are just for the serious wounds, Dad. I'd have a lot more if I reported every little scratch I got."
Sheesh! What an EGO!

I just can't help but wonder how many people will one day be saying the same thing about our guys. When you question one soldiers, you question them all, I just don't see how you can seperate the two. My husband was wounded several times in one month, it does happen.
Posted by: Jen at August 11, 2004 11:14 PM (n8GLX)

Jen, hopefully if you've been reading my site for a while, you know that I would
never belittle your husband's service. What I see as the difference is this: does your husband go around talking about his service all the time, to anyone who will listen? While downrange did he make fake combat videos and interviews to capture the moment of glory? Does he disparage those who haven't served? Did he come home and accuse his brothers of war crimes? I doubt that he does any of this, or you wouldn't be writing. Your husband probably served according to the Army Values (or whatever branch he's in), with integrity and selfless service. I just don't think Kerry did that. And it happened over 30 years ago, at which point he came home and joined the anti-war crowd, yet now he's acting like he stormed Normandy singlehandedly. That's what bugs me about him. Many soldiers are wounded in Iraq -- one of my husband's guys is now deaf in one ear -- but they don't prance around like they wear their medals on their civilian clothes too...
That's my beef. Not that Kerry was awarded Purple Hearts, but that they're present in everything he does today.

I think what Sarah is trying to point is the pathalogical deception that is apparent when you examine Kerry, his service, his record, and his actions.
To my examining eye, his actions were motivated by ambition, and the truth is malleable to further that ambition. These are not the actions of an honorable man.

Sarah, you seem very smart and thoughtful, but you sometimes seem to be getting some bad information. For example, John Kerry served in Vietnam from Nov. 1968 to Apr. 1969. A quick math check will reveal that this is longer than four months.
In recent months you've posted links to widely discredited stories concerning an aborted terrorist attempt and John Kerry's staged combat reenactments.
I try to get news from a variety of sources. If Drudge is the only one reporting it, there's a good chance it's bogus.

I am not going to comment about the fake videos, because I am still not sure what exactly I think about that.Kerry's bragging (lol jibjab comes to mind) may be over the top, but no more so or less than Bush bragging about his service too. It's election time, those things wil get blown out of proportion by both sides. If my husband chose to brag about his medals (I don't see that happening) then I feel it is his right to. I just worry that this close inspection into who won what and why is one day going to hurt the guys we are supporting right now. It would kill me to see the fine men I know who deserve every small thing they can get, for living through hell, be examined this way. Imagine how painful that would be. I think it's a bigger issue than just Kerry.
and Pixy, that analogy is not even close.
Posted by: Jen at August 12, 2004 01:38 PM (n8GLX)

Rigby, according to
John Kerry's own timeline, he arrived in Vietnam 17 Nov and was granted a trip home on 17 Mar. That's exactly four months. He left about a week and a half later, so I guess technically you're right: it was four and a half months.
And how exactly is the story about Kerry's combat videos disputed? Kerry himself admitted making them...and they were used at the DNC. I don't see the problem there.
And I hardly ever read Drudge, only if someone else links to him.

Jen,
I don't think you realize that you and Sarah are on the same side. I'm sorry your husband was injured...I appreciate his service to our country. However, Sarah's criticism of Kerry has nothing to do with your husband.

I suspect that everyone who's worn the uniform has served with the glory hunting medal grabbers. Some of us have even served with real heros. There's a big difference. The men I served with in the Southeast Asian War Games knew the difference as we knew the difference between a wound and a ding.
I didn't serve with Senator Kerry, I wasn't even there in the same year or Branch of Service. I've never met the man personally. All I know is that his subsequent behavior has not been that of an honorable or couragous individual.
Of the various terms we had for someone like him, the one fit for a family setting is Hee-row.
I'm not real fond of a man who'd put himself in for a decoration for the Hee-row-ick act of throwing a grenade into a stash of rice and peppering his own backside with rice grains. That's just me, though.

All of the brouhaha over Kerry in Vietnam, medals, etc. is really only serving one purpose.
It is stopping everyone from examing the more current record of Senator Kerry. The man has 30+ years since Vietnam. That is what he is, that is what defines him. Research what he stands for, that will tell you what kind of president he would be.

TEAM AMERICA
Mypetjawa reports that the Bush administration is not happy about
the Team America movie. Here's what I wrote in his comments section:
I love Parker and Stone, so I'd see anything they made. And yes, terrorism is not funny, but we need something to drag us out of this self-denigrating Fahrenheit 9-11 crap. Maybe what we need is a comedy where the Americans are -- shocker! -- the heroes.
But I think it's admirable that the White House is not thrilled. They *should* be saying that terrorism isn't funny and they *should* take the moral high ground. That's a pleasant contrast to the Democrat big-wigs who went to the opening night of Fahrencrap 9-11 and are praising Moore or laughed their asses off at Whoopi's dirty jokes. I hope Bush is snickering in private, but I for one am proud that he's sticking to his guns and reminding us that the world threat is no laughing matter.
But I can't wait to see the freaking movie!!!
Props to the White House for not publicly supporting toilet humor and acting like adults. But this adult can't wait to throw money at Parker and Stone.

RAH RAH!
Apparently Rocket Jones heard about my
reputation as a cheerleader and asked me to cheer him on in his fantasy football league. Normally I try to stick to war cheerleading, but I can lend Rocket a hand, I suppose.
I'll warn you, Rocket. When I was a middle school cheerleader, I used to do this thing where I'd backflip the name of our team (F-L-Y-E-R-S...yes, I went to Charles A. Lindbergh Middle School). Once, during a particularly heated basketball game, I attempted to stick a full flip on the end of Flyers; I ended up flat on my face in front of the whole school. Are you sure that's the kind of support you want?

CHEERLEADER
Hey, isn't this cute. Bos put me up for the
War Cheerleader Hall of Fame. Being called "war cheerleader" I can handle; being called "fraulein" pisses me off. By the way, dude,
Fräulein needs an umlaut and should be capitalized, plus I'm married, so I'm technically a
Frau. But whatever, no need to cloud the award with, you know, correct grammar. Sounds like I'm the only cheerleader in the Hall of Fame; what an honor. A Hall of Fame, all for me.

I've done a little research and found something the FBI, the CIA , and even the local authorities ACTUALLY WOULD be interested in. Somebody, ahem, has made a threat on John Kerry's life. Somebody we all know has a made a threat on a Presidential Candidate.

Presumptive Democratic nominee John Kerry plans a muted presence in IdahoÂ’s star-studded Sun Valley for the next six days, attempting a break before what will surely be a grueling battle for the presidency.
