Kerry's "Reporting for Duty" and using his 4 months in-country as the focal point of his presidential qulifications was a strategic mistake of the first order.
He knew what he did in 'Nam and more importantly so did a lot of other vets who he terminaly pissed off when he threw them all under the bus in his Senate testimony.
He assumed that the press would be able to inoculate him from the criticism. That was beyond risky. He should have low-keyed as 'nam service and made the fact that he wasn't George W. Bush the center of his campaign and put him on the defensive defending his Presidency.
Now Kerry has dug himself into a WWI trench and will ger shot at every time he sticks his head up.

Kerry made his choice when he came home and that choice was to ally himself with enemies of this country and the elites who were trying to end the war and the celebrities who were tools. He chose them over his real live and dead fellow soldiers. He will chose the same again over and over if he is elected.
He is also a poseur.
John Skerry was very effectively swift-boated by John O’Neil and Jerry Corsi!!!
