I get a kick out of this. Kerry was wounded 3 times in combat

situations

All three of his wounds were superficial/band-aid level.


By the grace of God - does this somehow impugn his service?


Not at all, but it does give suuport to the contention that his service

was
pruely for political gain, not any sense of "duty, honor, country".


I'm sorry, I just don't get it. How does the fact that he was lucky enough
to escape with superficial wounds "give suuport to the contention that his
service was pruely for political gain, not any sense of "duty, honor,
country".

The man went to the front lines in Vietnam. If he felt that risking his life
was also a resume builder for a future career, is that somehow bad? The
military advertises everyday that joining is a step to a career, that they
build leaders, that service yields lifelong benefits.

I'm sure conservatives can find plenty to attack on John Kerry's political
life and current positions. Attacking his military service just makes the
relevant arguments look small.
