Three purple hearts in four months without so much as a scratch to show for it. The swift boat veterans who told the truth about him were called liars by the Left, after serving their full tour instead of cheating their way out. Does anyone remember him parading himself as a hero, with that stupid Benny Hill salute and saying "John Kerry, reporting for duty!"?
They said he wasn't running as a Vietnam veteran. Oh no? He trotted out the uniformed actors in his televised campaign speech. I have nothing against running away from combat, by the way. It's instictive. But in doing so you shouldn't also label yourself as a hero.

John Kerry supposedly shot and killed a 14 year old enemy in the back as he was running away. I have nothing against that either. The enemy is the enemy, no matter the age or which way he is running but it sure is not something to brag about. You do your job and shut your pie hole.
