Bear, from what you wrote it looks like the only action you ever saw was in your bunker playing with your man toys. Most people with Bear's attitude are big rough tough cream puffs.

I'll boast AND brag for bear. Yes, he served in VN....and a lot more time than kerry's 14 weeks. Read http://www.swiftvets.com/ and learn how others who served with and along side kerry, even his commanders feel he should never be CIC...and others who saw his actions - running away, leaving other troops to fend for themselves. Read how he phonied up his medals...how he helped our communist enemies against our own country.
It's good for a laugh.
As for the success of Kerry's anti-democracy protests and his leadership of the VVAW and association with Fonda's Winter Soldier Investigation, General Vo Nguyen Giap, Vietnam's most decorated military leader, wrote in retrospect that if not for the disunity created by such stateside protesters, Hanoi would have ultimately surrendered.

All you need to know about kerry is from the ONE Swift Vet that served the longest along side kerry. His name is Steve Gardner.
"My name is Steve Gardner. I served in 1966 and 1967 on my first tour of duty in Vietnam on Swift boats, and I did my second tour in '68 and '69, involved with John Kerry in the last 2 1/2 months of my tour. The John Kerry that I know is not the John Kerry that everybody else is portraying. I served alongside him and behind him, five feet away from him in a gun tub, and watched as he made indecisive moves with our boat, put our boats in jeopardy, put our crews in jeopardy... if a man like that can't handle that 6-man crew boat, how can you expect him to be our Commander-in-Chief?"

Hey Bear, how about your war service not someone else. A big tough guy like you must have big time war stories. LOL. But sorry I forgot you never BOAST OR BRAG do ya LOL.
Like I have said before just go back to your bunker and play with your man toys. Your thoughtless CP aren't working so well a lot of us have all looked right through you and your mother Linda_K. I sure hope you two get the medical help I feel you need real soon.
