The topic of John Kerry's medals has come up again, and it was being discussed over at the WWDN message board. Something has been bothering me about the whole thing, and that's how well people can remember someone from almost forty years ago. So I posted this...
You know, I've been thinking about this. John Kerry must be a man above men for so many people who didn't serve with him directly to remember him so clearly. Hell, I can't remember people I worked with on a daily basis five years ago, let alone closing in on forty years. I admire those who can remember treating his scratches above all those countless other men who saw them (I wish my doctor had that kind of memory), but I guess he put up such a fuss about getting those medals that they remember him as that lieutenant specifically. Whatever herbal suppliment they've been taking, I want some.
And what a visionary John Kerry is. To know that one day he would want to be president, and knowing that just having served wouldn't have been enough, he needed to have the medals too! Though he's far from perfect, because a supervisionary would have predicted that speaking out against the war would anger a lot of these people on the genius memory dietary suppliments and they would one day rise up as one unified force to stand against him. Well, not the ones who served with him directly, just those who only had second- or third-hand knowledge. All those imposing military men who bent over for Mighty John Kerry and gave him the medals that they would only realize almost forty years later he didn't deserve (damn, that's one fine suppliment).
I stand today in awe of the devious machinations of John Machiakerry for planning so far ahead in running for president, and in awe of traditional Vietnamese medicine and their incredible knowledge of herbs and vitamins. I want some of that... that... What was I talking about again?
