proclaimed himself a 'citizen of the world.' To paraphrase the late-Bette Davis,

CNS News reports: "John Kerry says his experience as the son of a Foreign
Service officer, living abroad in various cities in his formative years, is
helping him now that he's Secretary of State. He indicated that he thinks of
himself 'not just' as a U.S. citizen, but as a 'citizen of the world.' "As a child, 'I learned a lot about the dislocations, the packing up, the moving, saying goodbye to friends, meeting new friends, being in a foreign country,' Kerry told the U.S. Embassy-London staff on Monday." "'And that experience, I’ll tell you, truly, is one that just lasts with you forever. I think back on the – such sense of independence that I gained and the confidence about meeting people in another country, seeing another culture, learning another language, and seeing the rest of the world.'" |

Well, AIN'T that great. Since I've lived, worked and served in Europe and Asia, travelled all of Europe, speak Spanish, German and Vietnamese in addition to my native language English, had girlfriends from several different countries and four continents and now have a wife from Vietnam, seems I should have been nominated for this position.
ReplyDeleteHe is a chicken-sh-t SOB who went to Viet Nam, and, whithin four months, was shipped back to the continental USA. Why? He was a lowlevel Naval Officer who accidentally shot himself in the rear-end, and found, to his liking, that if he got wounded three times, while on duty in Viet Nam, he would be immediately shipped back to Hawaii for medical treatment, then sent home from the war effort. The Chicken-sh-t SOB did shoot himself in the butt twice more, and qualified to be sent back to the USA. Yes, he was a chicken-sh-t who ditched the American military effort in South Viet Nam! This is the truth re.: a coward who left a theater of operation because he was NOT a supporter of the war effort. how do I know. I was there.
