John F. Kerry almost became president running on the basis of his alleged heroism in Vietnam. Thanks to the efforts of a group of truth-tellers, the Swiftboat Veterans for Truth, the serious holes in the fantasy narrative propounded by the Kerry campaign came to the attention of enough Americans that John Kerry was not the first faux-Irish President of the United States.
One of Kerry’s enablers in propounding his imaginary heroism was a man named Wade Sanders, who himself held a Silver Star, and who introduced Kerry to the Democratic Convention. Scott Swett, who was central to the unraveling of the Kerry storyline, tells us that the Kerry enabler has been exposed for what he is. His Winter Soldier site has the details:
John Kerry was introduced at the 2004 Democratic National Convention by Wade Sanders, a retired Navy Captain and former Deputy Assistant Secretary of the Navy who served as a Swift Boat officer in Vietnam. Like Kerry, Sanders was the recipient of a Silver Star for gallantry in action. During the 2004 campaign, Sanders functioned as Kerry lead attack dog against the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth, repeatedly denouncing the veterans on the air as liars and comparing them to Nazi propagandists.
Wade Sanders is now in Federal prison, serving a 37-month sentence for possessing child pornography. Now the Navy Times reports that Secretary of the Navy Ray Mabus has revoked Sanders’ Silver Star. The highly unusual decision appears unrelated to Sanders’ felony conviction. A Navy spokesman cited “subsequently determined facts and evidence surrounding both the incident for which the award was made and the processing of the award itself.” John Kerry has to be hoping this doesn’t become a trend.
As one might imagine, the media has ignored this story. Even the Navy Times declined to post its own article online.
HAT TIP: The American Thinker and Thomas Lifson
UPDATE: Here is the Sanders sentencing memorandum. Horrific.

I have a prediction….. let’s wait to see if it comes true.
Oh Lord I pray it does….but do they still Hang those like kerry and fonda for treason?
JFK didn’t almost become president based on his military service. He almost became president because the American people thought the war in Iraq was a huge cost to the US economy and wasn’t achieving goals worthy of the lives of American soldiers.
Only a putz the size of Kerrey could literally change his opinion 6 times about whether the war in Iraq was beneficial to the US. Beware the ‘electable’ candidate.
and call fellow vets killers, visit our enemies, and LIE about 3 band aid wounds, abandon his command through cowardice.
We vets dumped his lying ass in the toilet and flushed.
kerry…the son of elites…trained how to get purple hearts…so he could get out of combat…
we got his number…he is truely…an american coward
Except you really are not a vet. You just pretend to be one because you think that gives you cred. It doesn’t.
thats hogwash…
americans were deep into the situation in iraq…saddam was a tyrant…before the start of the war…it was estimated that he was the cause of over 1.5 million people that were killed…once we actually dug into it after the war…turned out to be over 2 million folks were killed under the saddam regime…
every intel agency in the west…and the UN…agreeing that so much was wrong about the weapons programs…the DNC slandered bush…Congress passed the resolution to allow the US to enter the iraqi war…we did…we ended it…now we will move on….
Hogwash
Throwing phony numbers around about 2 million folks killed is part of the kool-aid for people who wanted wanted to go to war. No WMD as the intel agencies were wrong and it was just a justification in order to go to war.
It’s a strange mentality to believe the US people think a really crappy idea is okay just because some leaders in their political party pass a resolution. I hold the Dems like JFK, Hillary Clinton etc. responsible too.
AND the costs of the war helped bring down the economy.
hogwash
funny NO mention that we are still there, INCREASED afghanistan and a THIRD war…..
amazing silence baldork……..
YOU donks OWN 3 wars today.
Neoconehead
I hold the Dems like JFK, Hillary Clinton etc. responsible too (for the vote to go into Iraq). I hold Obama responsible for the current situation.
