yea so? He did that in another country or in front of congress? Lots of bad things happened in Vietnam. We did kill millions of them.

He slandered his peers with falsehoods.
He is a disgrace, as are those who defend him.
To: William McKinley
His peers not mine. He earned a right to speak on this issue and his speaking out his mind is not treason, Hanoi Jane's act was an act of treason.

Look, Kerry enlisted in the US Navy. This was at the time of the largest draft call in the nation's history.
There is no doubt in my mind that he was evading the draft.
To: Hon
Kerry: Three purple hearts, with actual time spent in-country.
Bush: Four months with the Texas Air National Guard.
That, Hon, is pecisely how ABC/CBS/NBC will spin this. All I'm saying is that we had better prepare ourselves.
To: Hon
Really liked the way everybody has picked up on the fact that Kerry dodged the draft by joining the Navy. One fellow I know dodged the draft by enlisting in the Air Force.
He ended up loading filled body bags onto cargo planes.
Sometimes that draftdodging simply didn't work out quite the way it was planned, and then there were the guys who had a close relative in a sensitive position ~ DOD thwarted their efforts to serve every which way unless they broke some pretty serious rules.
Unfortunately today's public seems to be of the impression that the ONLY way to dodge the draft back during the Nam was to join the National Guard, or Air National Guard, or go to school in England ~
At the time none of these guys thought any of that would be considered to be draft dodging.
They were wrong again!
45 to 29 years later they may or may not be held accountable for their mistakes.

Hey, I missed ALL my Reserve and Guard time ~ spent a couple of years in the REAL United States Infantry first.
They wanted me to join an NG unit in Indiana in 1969 to complete my so-called "obligation".
I declined ~ some excuse like "I'd rather eat worms than serve with draftdodgers" ~ something like that ~ so they gave me a waiver.
Dan Quail's the guy who got the position they wanted to stick me in. It is presumed he used "influence" to get it too.

"That, Hon, is pecisely how ABC/CBS/NBC will spin this. All I'm saying is that we had better prepare ourselves."
Sure. Just like they never mentioned Bush 1's service or even Dole's--when they ran against the draft dodger. (Both of whom also put Kerry's record in the shade.)
It's vomit-inducing.
