Lol, you are such a liar. Putting Kerry's words in my mouth and pretending I said them. Yet isn't that what the military does, trains people to kill? Maybe you think Americans went to Iraq just to put daffodils into gun barrels.

Do you understand the difference between claiming YOU SAID THE WORDS and saying YOU SAID THE WORDS WERE TRUE.....

Nice deflection but damn, you might try honestly just for a change....
 
No one "earns" a purple heart....one receives a purple heart for being stupid, arrogant, mentally unbalanced or simply UNLUCKY by being in the wrong place at the wrong time. The IDEA in warfare is to make the other guys get purple hearts....in the perfect world they would receive this medal "posthumously". It does not take a hero to receive a purple heart...I know, I have 1, and I would have felt a hell of lot better if I had never seen the damn thing.

How do I define the reason for the supposed medal....take your pick, any of the prerequisites could be applied....being a hero was never a sought out option...survival was the personal motivator. I know several recipients that I would not piss on if they were on fire. Nothing personal but a prick is a prick...no medal changes that character trait. :)

All I have ever asked of anyone before they judge me....they must have had their proverbial ass in the grass alone side me....or simply, SHUT THE HELL UP.

Are you denying My Lai and Tiger Force? Because that's a lot of what he was talking about.

the issue is whether you are denying saying that the claim that millions of American soldiers are monsters was true.....we will go no further until we resolve that issue.....

I was answering bravo, not you.

How about we resolve whether you should condemn David Duke as a disgusting racist first?

why do I have to say anything about David Duke.....hes as much your candidate as he is mine.....he has nothing at all to do with me...am I required to jump if BucKKKle snaps his fingers and says "DENY, DENY, DENY!"?.....

meanwhile you specifically asked what was false about the statement that millions of American soldiers are monsters......that statement DOES have something to do with you.......so, do you stand behind it or condemn it?.......

I prefer not to address the subject, as its a topic I would just as soon forget, but....I backed:) into a purple heart near a small burg called An loc while attached to the remnant of the 184th Ord assigned to work as an adviser in ammo storage/handling and distribution for Marvin the ARVIN (SVA). Actually...while in the air....a piece of chopper fuselage went through the seat into my rear up through a kidney finally resting in my right lung. This in a supposed secure area that was guaranteed by intel not to have any air defenses....except about 1/2 a dozen 37mm cannons.
