To swiftboat veterans: My uncle Freddy only spent TWO months in WW2
Only 18, he was sent to the front in Europe. He was killed by an artillery shell in February, 1945.

What a shirker.

Unfit for command.

3. You know, this is what
pisses me off too--the inference that because he saw action for "only" 4 months that somehow lessens his service. What about all the soldiers who died in their first battle ever? There is this clip they always show of the landing on D-Day and the men rushing onto the beach. This one soldier falls immediately upon reaching the beach. He only made it a few feet before he got shot. How many hundreds of stories are there like this? I guess since Kerry didn't die that he's just not good enough. Cause losing almost all your limbs certainly isn't good enough either. Max Clelland can attest to that. These people sicken me.

6. He was going to be a priest. I never heard a bad word about him.
