Default Don Sutton's Shameful Past

Posted By: Dan

Kerry married the Heinz heiress, she has a fortune. Something about her husband, Mr Heinz falling out of the sky in an heiressplane, I mean airplane. Funny thing is, from what I have been told, she made him sign a pre-nup, but he is still not someone I would want running this country.

BTW, sometimes people whom win medals in the service just happen to be in charge of the real hero's as opposed to actually being one themself. Another thing to consider, 3 purple hearts, never heard of that one, it is extraordinarily rare you would think. Imagine the horrible luck that must be in play for you to get hit at three different timeframes within one war. Hmmm, makes you wonder about his ability to think on his toes.

BTW a second time - to answer your question - Me, I have been in the military for 18 plus years, Military Intelligence to be exact. Was in Submarines for 13 of my 18 years (over 3 years of my life under water), but have spent time working intel during both Gulf War's and have had boots on the beach multiple times with over 1 1/2 years in theatre (not a lot, but have unfortunately enough time to watch a few of my buddies get killed within a few yards of me). VA hospitals, yes, I actually visit every chance I get to walk some of the wards and talk with the real hero's, I have been collecting Army magazines like "The Yank" for years and hand them out for FREE to the soldiers, they really like them so I just keep bringing them.

JOE-P: Just wondering if you have any more stupid questions that you want me to answer? You see, just because you like Kerry, it does not mean that he has maybe won some medals based on the heroics of others, it happens all the time. A recent Commanding Officer won the Bronze Star for being the one in charge, funny thing is, he never went in to the war zone, only some of his people. That is only one example, there are many more if you wish.

Lastly, I updated my Purple Heart comment so you wouldn't cry about it anymore. Yes, I am fully aware that there are real warriors out there whom have been recipients of 3 Purple Hearts, it is just hard to believe that Kerry fits that criteria.

Last Lastly -
My Father: Retired Army Major, via Officer's Candidate School, prior door gunner in Vietnam when he was enlisted.

Uncle: Joseph Nolan - Vietnam MIA, helicopter pilot.

My Grandfather: Army regular during WWII, Combat Wounded, recipient of the Purple Heart (damn near had his whole arm blown off).

My Great Grandfather: Army Regular during WWI
