Just as Kerry claims to be a vet and can make the statements he does, I to am a vet, I have served in a combat zone and am currently a Naval Reservists facing my third mobilization in the last four years. Obviously as a former Marine and Viet Nam ERA vet (I was a Marine when Saigon fell, I was not in country)I could retire and avoid this mobilization, but I have a duty to my country and to support the Navy when it asks. As a vet from that era, I was despised and treated like smelly stuff on someone's shoes. We were told not to travel to certain areas in California because the liberal, porgressives like Kerry were singling us out for harassment because of our haircuts. I was treated like this until 1981 and a Republician president. I was treated that way by people influencesd by Dewey Canyon, Hanoi Jane and JOHN F'ing KERRY. I believe Viet Nam vets that support this man need to remember there were no welcome home parades because of people like Kerry. So yes, Kerry is scary and I wonder about those vets that support him. I also wonder about those that abandon Bush at a time like this.

Semper Fi Marine. You too no doubt learned to how to detect "fake motivation" at an early age out on the "grinder". Whatever has been said about Kerry can be repeated when talking about General Clark. The fact that he's a retired General is a disqualifier for me. I never knew a good officer that liked to rub shoulders with politicians.
