DEBATE PREVIEW
Bush: Sen. Kerry, you voted against every major weapons system the military now uses. Every one.
Kerry: I'm a decorated Vietnam Vet, sir, & I will not have my defense credentials called in to question by one who did not serve.
Bush: No one disputes your honorable military service, Senator. It's your votes on Capitol Hill for the past two decades that are the issue.
Kerry: I know something about serving on the battlefield & seeing men die for their country. I was there while you were in Texas....

Did Kerry serve in Nam? Which side?

Forgive my ignorance. Is the incident with Kerry "toking" on the imaginary joint the source of the photo I've seen on FR? Or is that photo another "Photoshop" special?

Not long after the fight, he bought a Super-8 movie camera, returned to the scene, and reenacted the skirmish on film.Exactly WHEN was this return to Vietnam?Was it while he was assigned to duty w/a Washington-based Admiral?Was it while he was actively engaged in anti-Vietnam activities?
Reenacting the "skirmish" on film smacks of meglomania. Real heroes are lauded by others; Kerry praises himself...continuously. Look for that film at 11.

In today's Washington Post, there is a story about Kerry and some casual discussion he'd had with reporters, including about movies. He was asked if he was going to see "The Passion" and he gave this wishy-washy (surprise! surprise!) answer. Anyway, they asked what the last movie was that he did see, and he said Mel Gibson's "We Were Soldiers." I hadn't seen it, but just confirmed on Google that it is about... guess which war? I guess I've gotten oversensitized to this now, but doesn't it truly seem like every question leads to Vietnam? If they ask John Kerry his favorite restaurant, I've got five bucks says it will be a Vietnamese restaurant.

John Kerry doesn't recognize that he so overused his (short) Vietnam combat service that it is turning into a joke. My impression is that Kerry is like that, a blowhard of such proportions he doesn't know he is parodying himself. I expect that if he is (God forbid) elected he would become a widely ridiculed and disliked president.
He hasn't really accomplished much else in life, and constant reference to his two months in combat is an enormous diversionary tactic.

Supposedly, Kerry plays that re-enactment tape for his dates, like Dana Delany, who reportedly never dated him again after that. He's like a guy who saved his old high school football tapes and keeps watching them, reliving it, marvelling at how marvelous he was, wanting everyone else to see how worthy he is....
How many guys go back and re-enact on film a moment when they kill someone. That is just plain weird.

"This man is living in a time warp. No wonder Kerry sees any conflict Gulf War I, Afghanistan, Gulf War II as a potential Vietnam. In Kerry's world, Vietnam is running on a continuous loop on that big screen TV with Jimi, Kris, and Peter, Paul, and Mary singing in the background." Scary to think of this guy being a potential Commander In Chief

I worked for a guy in the early to mid 70's who was said to have an impressive combat record in World War II as well as spending over a year as a POW in Germany. I worked closely with him for over five years and never once would he talk about either the combat or POW experience. My Dad explained to me that true heroic soldiers never talked about their experiences. He never told me why, but I can guess.

The same side that John McCain served so ably before he was captured....
McCain was such a clumsy pilot that he destroyed SEVERAL planes, before he had the good judgment to get shot down and take himself out of the business of bringing economic ruin to the US Navy.
