Kerry is a pilot?

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.

(Shrapnel and bullets...puts him kind of close to the action, no?),

I don't see anyone denying that.

but his
medals were overblown and when he requested to be sent back home, as was
his
right after being thrice wounded, he was shirking his duties,

Three superfical wounds? I've seen people receive more serious injuries
playing sports off duty.

What's more, his Silver Star was for giving the coup de grac to a VC that
was already wounded by a .50 cal. WOW!!!


but GW was
just a stupid youngun when he was AWOL from his cushy, daddy provided
assignment in the ANG.

And here again comes the urban legend about Bush being AWOL...

Spoken like someone totally ignorant of the military.


I swear, somebody's putting LSD in your drinking water.

Must be you putting in what you didn't injest yourself.

Kerry is certainly counting on the gullability of segments of the population
and you're providing him positive feedback.

Try digging a bit outside the mainstream press before shoving your head up
your ass.

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".

See above. When it suites his purpose, he's a "great warrior". That is
downright pathological.

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.

Well, let's see: Three (3) wounds qualify as a dismissal from the war zone,
so with wounds not much worse than paper cuts our "Heroic Warrior" cuts and
runs. Now he he displays his medals as through he was Audie Murphy.

So his action is merely self-serving? I cringe to think what he considers
the Presidency.

Except I'm not a conservative, didn't vote for Bush and won't this year.

Try a different spin.

Ah, I understand now - he should have stayed until he had a life threating
injury in a war he had already come to understand was a mistake. How
obvious.

All actions, at least noble ones, are self-serving to some extent. They make
you a better person.

Could have fooled me from the conservative rants you post on this newsgroup.

Done here. Have fun.

I think Bush already has that segment sown up.

Kerry's clowns are now out claiming there was no threat.

Well, that's the media, selectively quoting the Kay report. A report running
hundreds of pages and they pick one or two pages out of contet. Small wonder
they ahve no clue about the military intelligence process. No small wonder
either since they're the ones that sabotaged it (the Intelligence Community)
in the first place.

Hey, since they say no WMD's what was Bubba talking about when he said:"One
way or the other, we are determined to deny Iraq the capacity to develop
weapons of mass destruction and the missiles to deliver them. That is our
bottom line." - President Clinton, Feb. 4, 1998

And: "If Saddam rejects peace and we have to use force, our purpose is
clear. We want to seriously diminish the threat posed by Iraq's weapons of
mass destruction program." - President Clinton, Feb. 17, 1998

And what was Kerry talking about when he said:

"Without question, we need to disarm Saddam Hussein. He is a brutal,
murderous dictator, leading an oppressive regime ... He presents a
particularly grievous threat because he is so consistently prone to
miscalculation ... And now he is miscalculating America's response to his
continued deceit and his consistent grasp for weapons of mass destruction
.... So the threat of Saddam Hussein with weapons of mass destruction is real
...." - Sen. John F. Kerry (D, MA), Jan. 23. 2003

Kerry's information is as convenient as his military "service".

Unless Kerry can get the millions (1.2M to 3.8M...so much for a 550K
"margin") of illegal aliens back into the voting booth like Gore's team did.
