As the debate continues over presidential candidate John Kerry's actions in the Vietnam War, we must step out of our role as objective journalists and issue the following statement:
As we've mentioned before, we are a combat veteran of the Vietnam War. We were in the Navy. We saw horrible things over there (especially in the bars of Olongopo City in the Philippines).
And all this talk about Kerry and Bush and their war and antiwar activities has forced us to step forward with an official apology for certain distortions we might have made regarding our wartime behavior.
We did not, as we might have told a certain young woman in a certain bar in Oklahoma after we returned from the hellhole that was Jacksonville, Fla., receive the Medal of Honor for rescuing 24 shipmates who were about to be beaten to a pulp by a group of crazy Marines.
We did not, as we might have told co-workers here at the Daily News, best then-LTJG John Kerry in a table tennis competition in Hong Kong in early 1973. In fact, if we met Kerry over there, we sure didn't know it.
We did not, as we might have told several mental health professionals over the years, suffer serious head injuries during combat. We was just born this way.
We did, despite what we told family and friends after the war, drink heavily and ingest other substances that are now illegal in the United States.
And finally, yes, we did keep certain items that we understood were to be returned to the Navy upon our discharge from the service. Where they are now, we do not know.
We hope our actions here today will give John Kerry and George W. Bush the courage to step forward and cleanse themselves of any fibs and half-truths they might have shared with their fellow Americans in these long years since that horrific war.
And please allow us one last admission: Despite what we might have told anyone who would listen, we did not have sexual relations with that woman, Ms. Lewinsky.

YOU ARE EITHER A SHILL FOR KERRY, OR YOU DON'T HAVE A CLUE ABOUT THIS ISSUE - DO SOME RESEARCH.
Posted by: NELSON TOMPKINS on August 30, 2004 03:42 PMMr. Tompkins, as to your first two points, we must answer yes. We are shills, albeit unwilling shills, for Kerry, and we haven't the slightest clue about this issue (whatever the issue is). As for your third point, our research department resigned in disgust not long ago after complaining that we write much too much about sexual matters and not enough about the serious issues of the day. You'll chuckle at this, we think, but they wanted to do "journalism." You're giggling, right?
Thanks for writing, and please keep reading.
