Being a veteran is not a permanent pass to do as you want without consequence.

BUMP that. That goes for Kerry as well as for McCain.

Besides, if Kerry doesn't make his time of service, honorable and/or not that it was, the centerpiece of his campaign, none of this is even an issue.

The fact that he flip-flops all over the place doesn't help him either...especially on the issue of President Bush's service in the TXNG.

By the way, if John Edwards issues a challenge about those who want to know John Kerry, spending 3 minutes with those who served with him 30 years ago, then what's his problem--when a 1 minute ad (time economy), with those who DID serve with him, for him, and over him, airs?

Inquiring FReepers want to know. At least, this one does.

Here is Kerry's whole Viet Nam story.

First Down Kerry




This is how I flew above, the jungles there in Nam.
I held the skid and fired my gun, bam bam bam bam bam.
We approached the landing zone, I was the first man down.
“First Down Kerry”, I was called, Air Cav had come to town.
I designed the Huey, the Cobra, the Jolly Green.
Still I went to fight VC, I was a lean machine.
Swift boats, choppers, bombers too, ah yes I did it all.
For four months I was busy, but still I took the call.
I served with honor, brave, and true, saved so many men.
Viet Nam is safer now, I would go back again.
