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.

In that case I'd say it's fair so long as the interpretation of those
records is truthful by all parties, which is to say, the people claiming
he's a hero and the people claiming he's a fraud. If you make the claim, it
should be subject to review and verification.

Kerry realized that he didn't have an anthills' worth of accomplishments in 20
years of being a US Senator plus being a state lieutenant governor etc. The
only thing he could come up with was to play up his four (4) months in Vietnam.

I don't claim to know what motivated Kerry to decide to do it 'cause I
wasn't in his campaign headquarters, either.

Well put yourself in his handlers' shoes. He hadn't done anything remarkable
in 24+ years as a professional politician and was looking for a big
promotion. Voting attendance record? Not good. Intelligence committeee
attendance record? Deplorable. Voting record? All over the map. They
needed some angle to build the campaign on.

That requires experience, a paycheck, and half a damn to give about John
Kerry in the first place, none of which I possess.

Perfect spot for the POL prepend. I'll start it, even though I have
nothing to say politically.

Well, sir, you're leading by example anyhow and I commend you for it!

Which of course completely explains why you can't figure out why people were
rebutting his claims he made about his four months of service in Vietnam.
