Sorry, but I don't have the time to quote whole portions of the book again. Let me comment as best I can without doing that. meanwhile, next time you're in a bookstore, if they have it -- pick up Unfit for Command (don't buy it, just pick it up and read some of it) so you can get up to speed on this. You are woefully behind. . . . . Mike Smith No, I never said that. I said the SBV't" had four out of about 32 who disputed Kerry's version as to what happened. I have their book. It damn sure disputes it. And they did so on all those talk shows I referred to. I, and everyone there that day have said that what happened was what was in the citation that Kerry was given when he was awarded the medal, in early March 1968 plus 1. No one, ESPECIALLY ME, says it is different from what is in the citation. Hillary: Losing Again 132010-11? I thought it was your 4 against their 4.... I have their webpage and did not see any dispute about the Silver Star. So... Sure, Kerry has the ability to have the Department of the Navy "Clean up" his citation. There was nothing to "clean-up". I believe it was because he had lost the original. You are mixing up two different incidents-medals. Silver Star -- Feb 28, 1968 plus 1. No one out of about 26 people disputes what happened. Bronze Star-3rd Purple Heart -- March 13, 1968 plus 1. This is when Kerry pulled the Special Forces guy out of the water. Four guys out of about 32 dispute what Kerry said happened. Hillary: Losing Again 1324tom spillman Hey, chicken poo lying moron, you want to answer me? Grow some balls and answer me ya cat little intellectual coward... It was a direct and complete quote. No. Do you think I am in communication with these people? Hardly. By non-PCF troops they mean anyone who wasn't a Swift Boat person. That would be us advisors and the Vietnamese. Oh, and there were also three UDT guys there that day. I forgot to mention them. Read that portion of the book. It's entire purpose is to say he didn't deserve it. Yes, there was a June 2004 interview. No, I was NOT quoted in the book. Why is that? Probably because they didn't want that to be in the book -- that they hired a PI to try to dig dirt on Kerry. Furthermore, if the quoted me, that would reduce their ability to do what they did -- make it appear as if I said things that I in fact never said. They also OMITTED some very important things that I told them about what I did. For them to have mentioned that would have screwed up the (false) impression they were trying to give. I said they omitted important facts. You then asked for one or two examples. I gave you four. If you want more, you'll have to go to a bookstore. Come to think of it, parts of it -- significant parts of it -- are online somewhere. In which case your memory is partially correct. I have no idea. It's all over their discussion forum. And, as I said, it's in their "best selling" book. Doug Reese
