I agree with Gatt, except that Kerry HIMSELF opened up his war record for
inspection when he ran a "I'm not W, and I am a Vietnam war veteran"
campaign. Remember the DNC?: "John Kerry: reporting for duty" was his
opening line.

He ran as a self-proclaimed war hero, even though he later admitted to
being a war criminal (look up his words on so called "Kill-zones"), and
then became an active Vietnam war protestor. By running this type of
campaign, he ****ed off many Vietnam vets.

Having never served (but coming from a military family that suffered many
casualties in WWII), I would never presume to judge what a man does in
combat. But, Kerry brought it on himself.

You never hear McCain bragging about being a war-hero. If anything, he is
reluctant to discuss it unlike John Kerry, "reporting for duty."
