Reckless Disregard by Lieutenant Colonel Robert “Buzz” Patterson (USAF, Ret.) Regnery Publishing, Inc.; ISBN: 0895260867 Hardcover - 272 pages (July 2004) Is John Kerry qualified to be president? No way, says Lieutenant Colonel Robert “Buzz” Patterson (USAF, Ret.), author of the huge New York Times bestseller Dereliction of Duty. And the rest of the Democrats aren’t any better. In his stunning new book, Lt. Col. Patterson—not only a combat veteran, but a former White House military aide who carried the “nuclear football” for President Clinton—makes an overwhelming case that the once great Democratic Party cannot again be entrusted with the nation’s defense and foreign policy. Coming from a military family of conservative Democrats, Lt. Col. Patterson learned the hard way that the Democratic Party of Jimmy Carter, Bill and Hillary Clinton, and John Kerry behaves with reckless disregard for American security and for the lives of America’s soldiers, sailors, airmen, and Marines. With coverage that spans the battlefields of Afghanistan and Iraq to debates in Congress, Lt. Col. Patterson reveals: how John Kerry “staged” a combat scene in Vietnam (for which he was decorated) why Kerry received an early discharge for his Purple Hearts while Navy SEALs, U.S. Marines, Green Berets, and combat infantrymen did not how Kerry’s lies before Congress about the Vietnam war (his infamous testimony is reproduced here in its entirety) were used to justify North Vietnamese torture of American POWs why Kerry’s behavior as a recently returned veteran verged on treason—and is typical of the new Democratic Party how the disastrous presidencies of Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton encouraged radical Islamic terror against the United States why Bush critic Richard Clarke—whom Lt. Col. Patterson served with in the Clinton White House—is a fraud how the Democrats continue to gut our military effectiveness Relentless in its critique—told with all the passion and conviction of a combat pilot—and urgent in its message, Reckless Disregard belongs in the hands of every American patriot.
