kerry 'unofficiaLLy' kiLLed 20 VC

[sniffa]

APRIL 21--John Kerry was "unofficially credited" with killing 20 enemy fighters during his six months in Vietnam, according to military records just released by the Democratic presidential candidate's campaign. The body count reference is included in a glowing 1969 Navy report that noted Kerry, a 25-year-old junior grade lieutenant, exhibited "all of the traits desired of an officer in a combat environment." The Navy document, a copy of which you'll find below, was among hundreds of pages released today by the Kerry camp in response to requests from reporters and criticism from Republicans demanding full disclosure of the U.S. Senator's military record.

1. Perhaps I missed this, but is the capitalized 'L' your, thing?

If So it'S very diStracting, but maybe I'll grow to like it?

[gandalf]

2. The total of all body counts amounted to 50 million or so

I read somewhere. They were inclined to slight exaggerations.

3. true

but i'm trying to predict the oncoming smear from this.

any ideas?

[gandalf]

4. Perhaps depict him as not very scrupulous

not compassionate ... a cold-blooded murderer...

[orwell]

5. Separate but Equal

During the same period Bushie killed 20 bottles of Jack Daniels.

I guess that makes them equal in the Freepers eyes.

O

[blm]

6. BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

7. Dubya "unofficially" delivered 20 tropical plants

In his obsolete fighter plane at the TANG.

8. Does that really call him "One of the top few?"

Is that really a category under Overall Evaluation (just above the commander's sig on page 1)?

9. Body Count

How many GI's died because Bush took a spot as a pilot, which the reserves would have typically given to a doctor or someone who really wanted to serve and protect?

[bluedog]

10. powell

how many did he cover up for??

[mobuto]

11. Oops

Ed Gilespie was whetting his chops for the dark and nasty secrets contained in Kerry's Vietnam service file.

Given that his commanding officers raved about his performance, I guess the GOP will have to rethink its strategy. If Bush chooses to run this election on who did what in Vietnam, Kerry will win in a landslide.
