Bush got stuck,Kerry got to go Home

BUSH GOT HIGHER GRADES AT YALE AND GOT STUCK AS COMMANDER IN CHIEF BUT KERRY GOT TO GO HOME.
John Kerry has put on the Dukakis helmet and is driving the tank across our TV screens over and over. I am sure you have all seen the comment.
I went into the Navy a few years before Kerry did. Many of my friends at home were doing that. We had a choice, get drafted and be sent to die crawling through the rice fields of North Korea or enlist in the Navy. In an interview with his college newspaper Kerry indicated the same strategy when he went into the Navy during the Vietnam War.
Kerry was on a ship but heard about the “swift boats” that were to be used near Vietnam to bring out critical personnel. Kerry volunteered and it seemed he was able to imitate his hero, JFK in a safe situation. We all knew that everyone who volunteered was a hero. But if you wanted the glory like he seemed to want, at that time you would join the Marines.
While in training the boats were reassigned to more dangerous duty. Kerry provided his own video camera and managed 3 purple hearts in 3 months in Vietnam (2 have been questioned) and he came home a hero and denounced our troops before congress telling horrendous tales of atrocities he saw in those 3 short months. He is now attacking the troops again and anyone who questions him.
A trial to take place in Pennsylvania in the near future might end his charade or verify his heroism. “The truth will out” and “The evil that man does lives on; the good is oft interred in the bones.” (Or is it the other way around?)
In the meantime, Bush did get a grade point average just above Kerry. But Bush got stuck as the Commander in Chief and Kerry was able to go home.

NORTH KOREA
Let us give thanks to China for its effort to bring North Korea to the discussion table with all parties involved. Now, with any discussion there will be stronger repercussions with more countries to answer to.


OUR PROBLEMS IN IRAQ:
Are the Iraq people any worse than we were?
Frank Waters was a historian and wrote about the lives of our Native American Indians. In his “Book of the Hopi” he recorded the information about how some of our territories would stir up activity of the Native Americans in order to ask the government to send troops. This resulted in increased commercial activity for the territories and it was to their benefit to keep the activity high so that money flowed though the troops to the locals.
Is it the same in Iraq? I have mentioned this before in previous blogs.

The dogs would like you to know that they have lots of friends because they wag their tails and not their tongues.
