Do You Dare To Resist This Kerry Photo?


Anyone read in the Kerry bio about the puppy getting blown off the Swift boat? Everybody was completely bummed when "V.C." - you heard that right - went overboard in an ambush. They looked everywhere, but no luck - V.C. was gone.

Then, as they passed a nearby Swift, they heard a familiar yapping. Sometimes life imitates Disney...

If that wasn't enough heartstrings yanked on, wait until I tell you that Kerry bartered heavily with some South Vietnamese soldiers to rescue the dog from being dinner. True story.

One more side note: V.C. was a great and loving pup, but the crew couldn't seem to house train him on the Swift boat. V.C. had an unfortunate habit of peeing on military issue equipment. A double agent? Perhaps.

15. The Way I Figure, They Drew First Blood
V.C. was just living the way The Man taught him how to live. It's kind of like the Black Sabbath song, except V.C. didn't have heavy boots of lead to fill his victims full of trepidation.

17. It's In The "Tour of Duty" Biography, p. 301-302
And I have a correction, it was local villagers about to eat the puppy, not South Vietnamese soldiers.



It was probably these people.

(Jesus, is that a beautiful landscape or what!)

14. I've always liked Kerry, but he is growing on me more and more
The contrast between Kerry and McMission Accomplished is so great I'm even afraid to hope that Kerry might win--the disappointment will be so great. I really, really want this man to be president.
