This is a letter sent to Columnist Bob Lonsberry from a reader.
"I must have been a terrible soldier. After serving 364 days in
Vietnam in 1969-70 with the USMC, I returned uninjured, undecorated,
with no magical abilities and no instincts to hang-out with Jane Fonda.

John Kerry on the other hand, in Vietnam only 4 months, managed to get
himself injured on the average of once every 40 days, won a Silver and
Bronze Star for bravery and 3 Purple Hearts (which he nominated himself
for even though none of his wounds required hospitalization).

After 364 days I had not witnessed any atrocities against the
Vietnamese people or committed any myself, unlike John Kerry who
witnessed enough in 120 days to then sit in front of Congress for
hours upon hours relating to all the horrors, then in future interviews
admitted to committing a few himself.

I lacked higher social and moral conscience and, as soon as I got
home, I didn't protest against my fellow soldiers still there Having
not received any medals, I couldn't throw them over the White House
fence in protest and then make them magically reappear on my office wall
at home.



I must have been a terrible soldier -- unlike John Kerry who somehow
saw more, won more, was injured more, and protested more all in the
shorter period of time than any solider in history. The guy just must
be magical, and I'm the kind of soldier he now tells to sit down and
shut up.
