One and all;
Amidst the emotional element of this document it would appear the questions and discussion are valid and worthy of explanation.

Subject:
Some Questions for Seanator Kerry from theVeterans of all our wars, questions the mainstream media will NOT ask! Please pass this on. The author speaks for the VAST majority of VN Vets but these questions have been ignored by the Mainstream Media. So it's up to us, participants in the New Media (the Internet), to spread and expose this phony hero, habitual liar, and willing ALLY of America's enemys, both NOW, and during theVietnam War, (didn't that used to be called "treason"?), who is on the fast track to being crowned our next Commander in Chief by the mainstream media. Whatever happened to doing whats right for the Country first, no matter what Party is in power?

Former US Navy Lt. Kerry can have the veterans vote if he will answer the following questions:

Most Vietnam and Cold War Veterans, are willing to forgive and forget our wars and the past. In fact, since former LCDR John McCain has forgiven the Vietnamese comunists, the rest of us surely have no right to carry around anger about the Vietnam War and how it ended. But you, Senator Kerry, keep bringing up and saying in every speech that you make, "I am a Vietnam War Veteran" and "I won the Silver Star" so the rest of us must ask you a few questions. As fellow Vietnam War veterans, we would be willing to give you the benefit of the doubt if you will please answer the following questions for us, your former fellow comrades in arms. And maybe the rest of America would be interesed in your answers too.

Question 1:

Will you, like President Bush, release your service and medical records? Or do you want to hide the fact that you were only scratched and got 3 purple hearts to cut your combat zone tour to only 4 months? If you prefer not to answer the question, just lift up your shirt sleeve and show us a scar or two. What? No scars at all, but 3 Purple Hearts permitted you (and you demanded) to cut short your tour of combat duty by 2/3rds? Regulations require that to be awarded the Purple Heart you must be treated by a Medical Officer, but is it true your "wounds" were so slight (if any) that you never saw a Medical Officer. One of your shipmates says that one of your wounds was "self inflicted."

Question 2:

You say in every speech that you are a "Vietnam War Veteran" and President Bush only served in the National Guard, and implying that the President is a draft dodger. But isn't it true that you are a FAILED draft dodger, having asked your draft board for a one year deferment so you could visit Paris, and when they refused you, you joined the Navy. And while in the Navy didn't you take swift boat duty because you thought you would see little or no action. However, AFTER you were assigned, Admiral Zumwalt put those units into more direct combat roles.

Question 3:

Did you receive your Silver Star for chasing and killing a Vietnamese who was already wounded (or already killed) by another swift boat crewman? Did you get your Silver Star based on the Action Report that you yourself wrote, and upon the "action" that you alone witnessed? If you get a Silver Star for killing an enemy, wouldn't every soldier, sailor and marine who killed an enemy soldier also be entitled to wear the Silver Star? If, you did kill a wounded and helpless Vietnamese, isn't that murder and not combat? Isn't what you did the same act that Lt. Calley committed, faced a court martial for, and was convicted? Your gunner's mate says that you were a coward and ran from the enemy. Another says that you've abandoned your shipmates for all these year until you needed them to dress up your campaign some 35 years after the war.

Question 4:
Didn't you throw your Silver Star back at the US Government in protest for our fight against worldwide communism. You said that those were your medals...then you said they were someone else's medals...then you said that you threw your RIBBONS but NOT your medals, and now we see your self awarded "Silver Star" proudly displayed on your office wall. Is the Silver Star on display one that you bought at the ship's store, or did you lie to us about throwing your medals away? Isn't your self awarded Silver Star for putting a bullet into a fleeing wounded (or already dead) enemy, and your three Purple Hearts for self admitted scratches that took you out of action for ONE DAY, and thereby an insult to every veteran that truly earned their medals?

Question 5:

While a US Navy commissioned officer, did you not commit a court-martial offense by repeatedly disobeying orders and putting your unarmoured swift boat and its crew in danger by beaching it in a combat situations, and then kill unarmed civilians and children, and also kill wounded and helpless enemy combatants? What did Admiral Zumwalt mean when he said "I don't know if I should give Lt. Kerry a medal or a court martial for all the civilians he's killed. I want to put a straight jacket on Lt. Kerry." If you were our Commander in Chief, what would happen if you lost control but had no one to put you into a "straight jacket?"

Question 6:

After your active duty in the Navy did you fulfill your Navy Reserve obligations, or did you ignore those obligations and devote all your time to participation in anti-American demonstrations which emboldened our enemy and helped them to eventually win the war?   Because you encouraged our enemy when American fighting men were still in the field, can you give us the number of how many American soldiers, sailors and Marines you are responsible for killing? Why does LTC Oliver North say, "John Kerry has blood of American soldiers on his hands."

Question 7:

When you returned from Vietnam, you labeled all other Vietnam Veterans as war criminals. You made these claims under oath. Were you lying then, or are you lying now? You attended your first pro Viet Cong rally and marched under the communist flag on October 15, 1969 when you were still on active duty in the US Navy. Would you call that treason? Were you wearing your US Navy dogtags, carrying a US Navy ID card and still obligated by the oath you took to "support and defend the United States" as you encouraged our enemy to continue to kill our soldiers, marines and sailors on the battle fields of southeast Asia?

Question 8:

You associated yourself with Hanoi Jane Fonda, an avowed Communist who supported North Vietnam. Hanoi Jane stated that our prisoners were LYING when they claimed to have been tortured by the Vietnamese. Do you believe former LCDR John MCCain to be a liar?   Have you ever condemned Jane Fonda and asked her not to support your campaign? In his 1985 memoir about the war, Gen.Vo Nguyen Giap wrote that "if it weren't for organizations like Kerry's Vietnam Veterans Against the War, Hanoi would have surrendered to the U.S."   The Department of Justice was set to charge Jane Fonda with treason, but the President stopped that action so the country could heal after our Vietnamese allies were slaughtered. Was the Justice Department set to charge you with treason as well? What did Hanoi Jane mean when she called you "a hero?" Did she mean you were an American hero for killing Vietnamese civilians? Or, did she mean that you are a Viet Cong or Communist Vietnam "hero" for helping them win the war?

Question 9:

You wrote a book entitled "The New Soldier" and the cover MOCKS the Iwo Jima memorial with scruffy men "raising" an upside-down United States flag. Senator Kerry, 7,000 Marines DIED at Iwo Jima including three of those in that famous photo that you mock. Would you care to apologize to the 7,000 families of those Marines? During the Vietnam War why did you encourage American soldiers and sailors to desert in your book "The New Soldier", and in your speeches. As our Commander in Chief, would desertion during wartime be "ok" with you?

Question 10:

You have stated that going into the National Guard was like running off to Canada. Many Air Guardsmen were deployed to the War Zone of Indochina and many did not come back, do you consider them to be "draft dodgers"? Didn't you try to avoid Vietnam service by asking for a one year vacation from your local draft board so that you could go to Paris in the hopes the war would be over by the time you returned to your county which was at war? Lt. Bush flew a F102. Many of the men who flew F102s were killed in them. Would you care to explain how risking your life to fly a fighter plane is cowardly? Can you explain this to their widows and their children? The F102 was tasked with meeting and shooting down Soviet bombers coming to the USA by flying over Canada to destroy US cities. Please explain the cowardice in Lt. Bush's military service? Maybe in your mind engaging a potential Soviet enemy "over Canada" is the same as "fleeing to Canada?" Also, wasn't Lt. Bush risking his life in the early 1970's when you were at the very same time "protesting" the war, encouraging our enemies, and calling our sailors, soldiers and veterans "war criminals"?

Question 11:

You have stated in your speeches that you would turn the decision on deployment of US troops over to the United Nations, and you have OPPOSED the death penalty, even for terrorists who murder Americans. How do you propose to win the war on terrorism given these stated positions? You state that you voted for the war but now say that you were only voting for the "process" of the UN putting pressure on Iraq. Please show us in the bill the word "process".   Also, can you explain why 99 other US Senators could not find the word "process" in the bill that they voted on? Finally, please explain how, if we are to believe anything you say now or have ever said, that you are a member of our "band of brothers" when you have called us war criminals, given aid and comfort to our enemys while still in the US Navy, and betrayed all the soldiers, sailors and marines who have served, and are still serving, their country honorably?

The Veterans of America respectfully await your answers. And so do our fellow citizens.
