The real Kerry issue is his willingness to sell out anyone/everyone for his own gain. What will he do as a leader of America when the chips are down? We know.
THIS PRESIDENT. THIS TIME.
My neighbor volunteered to go to Nam when he was in the Korean Army, and upon immigration, he volunteered to go there in the American Army (as an advisor to the Korean Army).
I like my neighborhood ~ we have veterans of dozens of armies, and of all ranks. Some of them even fought each other, and yet others were allies. Great place for a kid to grow up knowing something about the rality of life on this planet.
You should encourage your neighbor to move somewhere else, as would we should he try to live here.
When your neighbor runs for President, he can say he was on the ROTC plan during the Vietnam war.
(Tell him not to mention that ROTC, in his case, stands for "Run Off To Canada")
He joined the Naval Reserve and was called up he did NOT volunteer. It is most prudent to assume EVERYTHING about him is a lie until proved otherwise. So far everything examined about him shows him to be a FRAUD.
Your neighbor acted more honorably than Kerry did. At least he didn't betray his comrades-in-arms.
As much as I despised the draft-dodgers, traitors like Kerry and his VVAW buddies were far worse.
