The Vietnam War

Unfit For Command
I am still amazed that John Kerry really thought that he would get away with this. That he really thought that he could count on Al Frackenstein and Michael Mooron and the rest to carry him and that the real Swift Boat heroes would not fight back on his lies.

Guess again Kerry.

And Kerry's comments on Meet The Press today show that Kerry is stay way out in left field along with that other Massachusetts senator Teddy "Hiccup" Kennedy. Once again Kerry is on the wrong side and proves that he was the wrong man for the wrong job at the wrong time. Kennedy??? I understand that even the democrats have had it with these two.


Unfit For Command is still in the top 25 of best selling books and for good reason; Americans want to know the truth about Swiftboat Kerry. The facts that CNN and the mainstream media refuses to report.

If only 1/10 of this were false Kerry would sue faster than he shot defenseless 12 year old Vietnamese kids and their fathers in Vietnam many years ago. This guy is a heel, not a hero. And this book proves it.

I find it interesting that so many people are blaming the Swift Boat Vets for costing John Kerry the 2004 Presidential Election. Didn't John Kerry said that he would run on his record? And didn't it occur to the senator that somebody might check his record out?

Apparently John Kerry, like another former democrat presidential contender Gary Hart who said he had no skeletons in his closet didn't expect anyone to check. Surprise!

The only reason that Kerry made Vietnam the issue is because he has nothing else to run on. Didn't Kerry quote scriptures during one of his debate with the president and say something about "Faith without works is death." I submit that Kerry should have started working 20 years ago when he first entered the senate instead of trying to run on the liberal media hype machine.

Kerry also should have started working on character and integrity back around 34 years ago instead of indescriminately shooting at anything that moves just because he happens to be in a "fire zone." And Kerry should have paid more attention to where he was during Christmas '68 and not get confused as to who the President of the United States really was.

It was Kerry who shot himself down. The Swift Boat Vets merely provided the facts, just like the reporters reported the facts about Gary Hart and Donna Rice, Bill Clinton and Monica Lewinsky and so on.

Even if you voted for Kerry and especially if you are a die hard democrat who truly cares about your party, you owe it to yourself to read the facts about John F. Kerry. All Americans who truly love their country need to read Unfit For Command to see what this guy John F. Kerry is really all about.

And please, don't ever compare this JFK to John F. Kennedy. Kerry can't even come close to Kennedy on character and integrity. And Kennedy was genuinely injured during his military days.

The Last Valley
A highly acclaimed, well-written, and flawlessly researched history of the battle that doomed the French Empire and led America into Vietnam.

In December 1953 the French army occupying Vietnam challenged the elusive Vietnamese army to engage in a decisive battle. When French paratroopers landed in the jungle on the border between Vietnam and Laos, the Vietnamese quickly isolated the French force and confronted them at their jungle base in a small place called Dien Bien Phu. The hunters-the French army-had become the hunted, desperately defending their out-gunned base. The siege in the jungle wore on as defeat loomed for the French. Eventually the French were depleted, demoralized, and destroyed. As they withdrew, the country was ominously divided at U.S. insistence, creating the short-lived Republic of South Vietnam for which 55,000 Americans would die in the next twenty years.

We Were Soldiers Once and Young
I commanded A Company, 1st Battalion, 7th Cav under LTC Hal Moore at X-Ray. I lived the battle and led two aasaults. Hal Moore's book is an accurate account of the events of those two days and reflects his love for his soldiers as well as his determination to close with the enemy. As another reviewer described the book shortly after it was published it is "the best description of small unit combat since the Red badge of Courage". Having just read 71 reviews I note that some of the reviewers criticize Moore on issues of tactical considerations. Without going into a lot of detail the Hueys did well to carry 6 soldiers at the altitude of the central highlands of Vietnam. We did not have good intelligence as to where the enemy was so the operation was planned as a reconnaissance in force. Not much different than hundreds of other air assaults by both Army and Marine units during the war. The book was not written to glorify war but to demonstrate the courage and character of the American soldier.
