"Skylune" wrote in message 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. |

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. |

I'll start it, even though I have nothing to say politically. ![]() -- The monkey turns the crank and thinks he's making the music. for Email, make the obvious change in the address. |

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. |
