That was a crappy salute too. If Kerry ever wanted to PROVE how little he had in common with the military, that salute did it. Sorta like Dukakis in a tank. WAY out of his element.
Actually I heard Dukakis served honorably in the Korean War. He was just a liberal dipwad as a politician and looked like a doofus in a tank turret wearing an ill fitting CVC helmet with his big Snoopy-like schnozz.
