War Record Counters Kerry Critic's Version
Doubt is cast on author who says Dem not under fire

by Michael Dobbs

WASHINGTON - Newly obtained military records of one of Sen. John Kerry's most vocal critics, who has accused the Democratic presidential candidate of lying about his wartime record to win medals, contradict his own version of events.

In newspaper interviews and a best-selling book, Larry Thurlow, who commanded a Navy swift boat alongside Kerry in Vietnam, has strongly disputed Kerry's claim that his boat came under fire during a mission on March 13, 1969. Kerry won a Bronze Star for his actions that day.

But Thurlow's military records, portions of which were released Wednesday to the Washington Post under the Freedom of Information Act, contain several references to "enemy small arms and automatic weapons fire" directed at the five-boat flotilla.

Thurlow won his own Bronze Star that day, and the citation praises him for providing assistance to a damaged swift boat "despite enemy bullets flying about him."

Why in the hell doesn't the Dems, Kerry's campaign or members of the senate & house get out and get this in the public's grasp and show it as the dam lie it was. The guy should be prosecuted if he could or at least I would think embarrassed as hell about what he did.
