Kerry is a pilot?

All that said does not equal credibility.

Hell, Hitler had the Iron Cross something or other equivalent to
our Distinguished Service Cross.

Big Whoop!!

I'm sure many U. S. veterans who hold these decorations would be
gratified to see your equating them with Hitler's giving himself the
Iron Cross. No doubt they would enjoy your "big whoop" comment WRT these
honors, as well.

Again your reading is stunted: The comparison is to KERRY, not all veterans.
The comparison is between two fascists: Kerry and Hitler.

Liberals never cease to amaze me -- for all their self-proclaim intellectual
capacity, their very basis claims intelligence is impotent. Then they prove
it.

How else can that be read other than that, in your opinion, holding
these decorations is a "Big Whoop," a derisive expression?

If I find a man holds the Silver Star, he has my respect for his service
to our country unless I *know* he received the honor fraudulently, as in
the case of Lyndon Johnson, for example. I do not say "Silver Star? Big
whoop!"

LOL.

You resort to name calling? What are you going to call me next, a Nazi?
Of course, you called Kerry a fascist, so I suppose nothing is too
over-the-top for you; maybe you'll make me a Satanist next time.

Hang on, isn't the thread supposed to end once Hitler
has been mentioned?

In the interests of historical accuracy, and not to defend a monster, I think
Hitler got the award legitimately in WW1 and did not give it to himself.

Well, there's at least one redeeming quality.

To go along with the Silver Star, the Bronze Star and three Purple
Hearts.
And all in a war he was opposed to. I find that somewhat redeeming.

Except ther is no silver star.

I agree with you that distinguished military service is not necessarily a
reason to vote for someone. On the other hand, in a time when so much is
often made about who's patriotic and who's not, who's a "real American" and
who isn't, I certainly think it's appropriate to point out that John Kerry
served his country (voluntarily, I might add) and served it well.

More so than most children of millionaires.

That's arguable.

Who consider military service only as a step ladder to public office.

Only to come back and bash it! I would rather have seen him not serve his
country.

"Bash it"? It seems to me that he volunteered for dangerous duty in a war
that he didn't completely agree with. He put his ass on the line for his
country, even though he didn't agree with the cause. I'm not sure you'll see
a better definition of patriotism in your lifetime.
