Mr. Kerry served at all is a reason for a bond with fellow veterans;
that
his
service earned him a Bronze Star for Valor ("for personal bravery") and
a
Silver Star ("for gallantry") is even more compelling.

I read something in the last day or so that details the circumstances under
which Kerry won his decorations. To say things were very overblown is..well,
accurate.


More impressive was Representative Ford saying Kerry has 2 siver stars and
a
bronze star on Fox this morning.

Unfortunately, Mr.
Kerry came home to Massachusetts, the one state George McGovern carried
in
1972. He joined the Vietnam Veterans Against the War and emceed the
Winter
Soldier Investigation (both financed by Jane Fonda). Many veterans
believe
these protests led to more American deaths, and to the enslavement of
the
people on whose behalf the protests were ostensibly being undertaken.
But
being a take-charge kind of guy, Mr. Kerry became a leader in the VVAW
and
even testified before Congress on the findings of the Investigation,
which
he
accepted at face value.

Some South Viet Namese were literally sold into slavery, to pay the Soviet
Union for their support.

The North Vietnamese killed more people in South Vietnam AFTER the US left
in 1975 than were killed in eleven years of fighting.
