Look, you get over it. I happen to respect JFK which is why I continue to read about him. For your info - he also put his men at risk to begin with. He shouldn't have had to save anyone. Yes he saved them, but if he hadn't put them at risk to begin with his style of leadership - he wouldn't have gotten his back screwed up.

On April 23, 1971, Kerry led members of VVAW in a protest during which they threw their medals and ribbons over a fence in front of the U.S. Capitol.

Kerry later admitted he'd thrown somebody else's medals.

I'd have to have independent verification of that, Laurie, seeing as how you buy into every kookburger conspiracy that comes down the pike.

I've never been in combat. Have you?

S**t happens in wartime, and men make snap decisions that, in hindsight, they might want to take back.

We've got soldiers in Iraq, today, hitting civilians, mistakenly.

Get off your high horse about JFK, OK?

Unless, of course, you've been in combat. Have you ever been in combat, LaurieB?
