I remember hearing drunken barflies who never set foot in Vietnam bloviate on and on about their war stories back in the '70's and '80's when I went to bars. I never could have imagined anyone like this Kerry putz.
That is an interesting comment. When I got out of the Navy, (Swift Boats 1965-66) and went back to college, many of my pals were Vietnam vets. Seldom did we talk about our war experiences. Friday night pizza and beer affairs were mostly involved with discussions of how bad the FortyNiners were that particular year or school, or politics or a million other insignificant topics. When war experiences did enter the conversation, as I recall, the focus was ususally on something funny or crazy that happened.
I have been around a few guys though, who are obsessed with their Vietnam experience...it is all they can talk about. It's like the only thing that every happened to them of any importance. I have always viewed these vets as having either a character flaw, or as being NUTS!
Kerry strikes me as the latter, and I think he is crazier than Al Gore, who in my opinion, should be in an institution.
Great tagline!!
