Trumpf: 'I always wanted to get the Purple Heart. This was much easier

He didn't throw his medals, it was his ribbons. Get your story straight.

"Throughout his presidential campaign, Kerry has denied that he threw away any of his medals during an anti-war protest in April 1971. Calling it a "phony controversy" instigated by the Republican party, Kerry said on Good Morning America today that he has always accurately said what took place. "I threw my ribbons. I didn't have my medals. It is very simple."

Since when has the truth mattered to Trumpf supporters?

How is he impersonating a soldier? Giving your medal to someone or to a pawn shot does not make the person receiving the soldier's medal a soldier. Also, Trump admitted he never served and never once claimed to be a soldier.

Is it your contention that soldiers cannot give their medals to anyone?

Once again Zappa refuses to answer questions. He thinks he can just make any statement and not be challenged on it. If you challenge him he won't answer you.

He didn't throw away HIS anything.....

Contradicting his statements as a candidate for president, Sen. John Kerry claimed in a 1971 television interview that he threw away as many as nine of his combat medals to protest the war in Vietnam.

"I gave back, I can't remember, six, seven, eight, nine medals," Kerry said in an interview on a Washington, D.C., news program on WRC-TV called Viewpoints on Nov. 6, 1971, according to a tape obtained by ABCNEWS.

Calling it a "phony controversy" instigated by the Republican party, Kerry said on Good Morning America today that he has always accurately said what took place. "I threw my ribbons. I didn't have my medals. It is very simple."

He also said he — and the military — didn't make a distinction between medals and ribbons.

Kerry was asked if he gave back the Bronze Star, Silver Star and three Purple Hearts he was awarded for combat duty as a Navy lieutenant in Vietnam. "Well, and above that, gave back the others," he said.

The statement directly contradicts Kerry's most recent claims on the disputed subject to the Los Angeles Times last Friday. "I never ever implied that I did it, " Kerry told the newspaper, responding to the question of whether he threw away his medals in protest.

"I'm proud of my medals. I always was proud of them," he told Jennings in December, adding that he had only thrown away his "ribbons" and the medals of two other veterans who could not attend the protest.

But in 1984, when he first ran for the U.S. Senate, Kerry revealed he still had his medals. According to a Boston Globe report on April 15, 1984, union officials had expressed uneasiness with Kerry's candidacy because he had thrown his medals away. Kerry acknowledged the medals he threw away were, in fact, another soldier's medals. He reportedly invited a union official home to personally inspect his Silver Star, Bronze Star and three Purple Hearts, awarded for his combat duty as a Navy lieutenant.

Arguing with you is useless because you ARE a swiftboater.

“The point of the exercise was to symbolically give something up,” Kerry recalled in his defense. “I chose my ribbons, which is what many of the veterans did.” The medals he tossed had been given to him by two angry veterans who wouldn’t make it to Washington; he was merely serving as their surrogate. Before Kerry discarded his ribbons, he declared: “I’m not doing this for any violent reason, but for peace and justice, and to try to make this country wake up once and for all.”

So why do it?

Blabo is just trying to pull your focus off his master Trump, who attended a swank military school and claimed it was "like being in the military" dodged the draft, and trashes anyone's military service who displeases him.

Poor Blabo.

I have one more goody for him that really shows the hypocrisy of the swifties. Incoming....
 
Out of all the stories that have hounded Kerry on the campaign trail, the issue of whether he threw away his ribbons or his medals is the most mendacious. Last week the media demanded to view Kerry’s military records. The reason for the urgency was that Grant W. Hibbard, a lieutenant commander during Kerry’s swift boat days in Vietnam, asserted that Kerry’s first Purple Heart was undeserved. According to Hibbard, Kerry had a tiny scratch. The Boston Globe quoted him as saying, “I’ve had thorns from a rose that were worse.” Over 35 years after the fact, Hibbard, a Republican, was trying to belittle, embarrass and malign Kerry.

But the release of Kerry’s war record put an end to the flap. Stuck in the middle of released documents was an evaluation of Kerry by Hibbard, filled out two weeks after he supposedly told Kerry he didn’t deserve a Purple Heart. Nowhere in Hibbard’s evaluation did he mention any problem with Kerry over Kerry’s winning a Purple Heart. In fact, Hibbard wrote that Kerry was one of the best sailors he knew in three categories — initiative, cooperation and personal behavior. Why, if he thought Kerry was trying to finagle a Purple Heart, did he give him such high marks for personal behavior? As Katherine Q. Seelye reported in the New York Times once the document was released, Hibbard went underground, unwilling to grant interviews, hiding from the press in his retirement home in Florida. The story went away.

Waste of pixels.

All Blabo wanted to do, he did.

You're now re-fighting the 2004 campaign instead of the 2016 one. :palm:

Kerry would have made a damn fine president. he's a much better Sec of State then Clinton, and would make much better POTUS too.
He's the last POTUS I actually voted for with some enthusiasm
