It somewhat bothers me when being a veteran and having medals is used toward securing political office. Seems to me the two just don't go hand-in-hand. I've read in many places that JFK wasn't quite the hero they make him out to be. I guess that would be one of the reasons I hate hearing the claims used when trying to secure a position in politics. It always seems like the heroism is blown out of proporation and when that happens it truly makes a mockery out of the veterans who really did do something major to earn their medals. Hmmmm, I looked at the picture of Kerry - has he always worn a complete wig?

Good question.

John Kennedy saved men from death, and screwed up his back for the rest of his life in doing so.

Let's get over this "every Democrat's a coward" stuff.
