I want Kerry's real military record. Something doesn't add up. I don't know what yet.

Something doesn't add up. I don't know what yet.

I get that feeling, as well. Mayhap I can look into it later.

"I want Kerry's real military record. Something doesn't add up. I don't know what yet."

Not a good tactic - attacking Kerry's record when it's so much better than Bush's. The return fire on this will be severe. The spinmeisters and attack dogs for the dims want the comparison - don't be foolish enough to lead them there.

I think Kerry's military record is probably good. And I take it that he wasn't drafted--he went on his own? We need to give credit where it is due. What he CAN be faulted on, legitimately, is his activity when he returned. He threw medals (he claimed were his own but later turned out to belong to someone else) over a wall in protest and spoke before a congressional committee against the War. Others here have found evidence that he was involved in Jane Fonda's protests, but I don't know the details. He also co-authored a book after he returned, The New Soldier, on which appeared a flag upside down. I don't want this type of soldier as commander-in-chief, even if he did serve admirably at the time. His protests and book appeared at a time when his fellow soldiers were still in harm's way in SE Asia.
