Have you ever spoken with a MOH recipient? Sat down with one, had a beer, and
talked for any length of time? And then repeat it, week, after week, after
week?

I have. He didn't speak once about his exploits. NOT ONCE!!!! He didn't cry
out, "Reporting for duty." He didn't constantly say he defended his country.
In fact, he never ONCE said anything like that. And, he never once said
anything derogatory about those he served with. When asked about his exploits
on Porkchop Hill during the Korean war, Col. Millet would only say that he was
there and did his job. He was also gravely wounded and DID NOT asked to be
sent home.

I served with him for two years and had more than my fair share of martinis
with the man. He is a hero. Kerry is not.



Kerry is a phoney. He did NOT voluteer for river patrol, but rather
volunteered for coastal patrol, an easy see-no-combat position. When he was
transferred to the river patrol, he was angry and did not want to go.

You do not get a PH for self-inflicted wounds, and two of his so-call "wounds"
had to be self inflicted. You do not get a SS for chasing down a wounded
un-armed VC teenager and shooting him in the back. Your hero is a phoney, and
some day, the questions regarding his discharge will be answered, and you ain't
gonna like 'em.

Thus distinguishing himself from a true hero we all know all too well.
