Can you tell me what the difference in that and John Kerry leaving Vietnam early and then asking for an early out is?

Let's also not forget about Kerry requesting a deferrment in order to go to France, and then following-up his non-combat tour on the Gridley with his volunteering for the non-combat Swift Boat program. It was only after he requested an assignment with them that their operations were changed from coastal patrol to river duty. Kerry is on the public record stating that he was trying to avoid combat by getting into the SBs.

However, Lt. George W. Bush volunteered, according to an eyewitness account by one squadron mate, for Operation Palace Guard, which would have put him in combat in Vietnam.

So, while the future president was saying 'send me to Vietnam,' Kerry was saying 'send me...to France'!

I highly recommend this. It's long but it explains so much.

Kerry's Lost Opportunity - He could have healed the wounds of Vietnam. Instead, he tried to exploit them

Yesterday I heard about Kerry's inability to show up for stateside naval reserve duty required of him as a condition of his early return from Vietnam.

What's the info on AWOL Kerry?

This guy better quit complaining about Bush's AWOL, lying swifties, etc., because the more he protests, the more he seems to be giving others insight on his own behavior.

It's such a familiar feeling..."my" fulltime anti-American Pentagon protestor's been missing a few days, so I haven't had the chance to taunt her, and it's like I haven't had my coffee.

First, ask to see some evidence. Secondly, remind them that the whole basis for this is a comment allegedly made by a dead Democrat politician who supposedly did a favor for George H.W. Bush. So, just remind the person that there is more substantial evidence that Kerry committed treason (aid to the enemy in the form of propaganda material; collaborating with N.V. officials in Paris and then asking for the US to honor N.V. requests for a cease-fire) during a time of war, for which he could have been executed, than there is for this "using daddy" garbage.
