According to the doctor who treated him for his 1st one, he said he was in a firefight, but the enlisted guys who were there with him in the clinic/hospital said he wasn't. IE Kerry is a liar
I'm more concerned about why a soldier that volunteered to serve in Vietnam would be questioned in this way
It's because he was the one who made a big deal of it. By the way, did you know that Senator Kerry served in Viet Nam ? He invited this trouble on himself. It's the only thing he has to run on.
We are actually discussing whether a man who volunteered to go to Vietnam, was decorated for his service, and since has spent 30 years of his life fighting for the rights of veterans, is as honorable and capable as our current president.
Fighting for the rights of veterans ? Gimmee a break. Was that what he was doing when he voted against the money to support our troops in Iraq ? (BTW veterans includes those who are currently on active duty)
Our current president is a man that did use his influence to get a position in the National Guard in order to avoid combat in Vietnam, cannot account for nearly a year of that time when he did not report for duty, and who has now made dramatic cuts to veteran benefits.
You've been brainwashed by the Dem talking points. None of what you said is true.
Begone troll.
Please stop the lunacy. If military service mattered, Dole would be president.
Don't compare Bush and Kerry, compare Bush to Clinton and Kerry to Dole.
Lincoln, FDR, Clinton - take your pick.
PLEASE USE KERRY'S STATEMENT AGAINST HIM:
This is what Kerry said:
When the World War II veteran ran as the Republican presidential nominee against Bill Clinton in 1996, Dole said, Kerry maintained that Dole's war record "didn't mean anything. It shouldn't make any difference in the campaign." Dole said that Kerry was "probably right" on that point.
Dole said he'd sent word to Kerry through a mutual acquaintance.
