I have to say for once I agree with John Kerry. I'm sick and tired too. I am sick and tired of listening to him criticize our soldiers. I’m sick and tired of John Kerry calling our current valiant and noble soldiers terrorists. I’m sick and tired of Sen. Kerry labeling our past heroes as war criminals. Despicable.

What galls me as a veteran and grandson, son, brother, spouse and in-law of veterans (I wore the uniform John) is his repeated and consistent denigration of the U.S. military as a group and his insulting, traitorous abuse of U.S. service members individually. Somehow John's wearing the uniform thirty years ago gives him eternal permission to denigrate and insult people he's never met in an organization of which he's not a member. No-one is asserting that every member of the military is pure of heart, good and noble; however I believe the vast majority are.

Senator Kerry’s current jejune attempt to justify his statements with feigned, indignant anger for dramatic effect, claiming he was referring comically to President Bush and his words are being distorted for political gain is an affront to the intelligence of those of us out in fly-over-country, the American public. Down south we call that crawfishing, i.e. lacking the courage of your convictions and when challenged, backing away from your actions/statements by equivocating and attempting to re-cast them in a different light. This behavior results in the crawfisher appearing wishy-washy and indecisive… thus Sen. Flipper. His comments are there for anyone to read. Go read them for yourself, a botched joke indeed. He’s banking on-sound-bite reporting and the public’s general ignorance of what he said or perhaps he just thinks we’re stupid.

“A dog returns to its vomit.” John revisits again and again this central theme of denigrating and berating U.S. military personnel. He began immediately upon his return to the states. In fact he began his subversive assault so quickly that he met with members of a foreign enemy power with whom we were actively engaged in combat, while still a U.S. military officer. OOPs. John seems to have a recurring problem with those darn regulations. He’s such a rebel. To some it may seem ironic that John, who wore the uniform, would speak this way. It’s no secret that he was only in the military to punch his political ticket. From jump-street John’s three month service tour was a calculated political strategy designed to serve as his bona fides to blast the military and check the patriotism box on his political scorecard.

I’m sick and tired of LTJG Johnny arrogantly climbing up on his, elitist high horse and telling us below about the sins of the miltary at large while hypocritically omitting his own criminal actions and dereliction of duty. You see as an officer in the U.S. Navy, a Lieutenant Junior Grade; John Kerry had a responsibility, a duty. It’s precisely that duty he criminally neglected; precisely that duty which prevents armies from descending into depravity. LTJG Kerry testified that he “personally” witnessed a list of war crimes “reminiscent of Genghis Khan.” By witnessing these activities and taking NO action he is complicit in the self same war crimes. In fact as an officer he has an even higher degree of culpability. As a leader one learns very quickly that people perform to the minimum acceptable standard. Set a high standard, enforce the standard and that will be the standard performance. Apparently Johnny is a slow learner. Thus in reality LTJG Kerry committed not only the crimes of dereliction and gross negligence, he also became an accomplice to each and every crime he witnessed and did nothing. John Kerry is by his own “Winter Soldier” testimony a war criminal. A leader, an officer, witnessing a war-crime then whining about it later doesn’t make you a whistle blower, it makes you a coward. Courage comes at the point of impact, not after the fact. As a leader you don’t witness and tattle. You take immediate, decisive, corrective action. Then you report.

I’m sick and tired too John. I’m sick and tired of hearing from a coward, a muckraker and self promoter like you. Give us a break John, go wind surfing or skiing in France.
