Kerry is a pilot?

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".

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.


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.

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


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.

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.
