Kerry left his tour in Vietnam early, after only 4 months, because he wanted to work on a political campaign. Kerry was well-connected and got special treatment in this regard.

He repaid that special treatment by publicly throwing his medals (later he says it was someone else medals - nice way to scam your rabble-rousing co-conspirators, John!), but calling vietnam soldiers "war criminals" who were guilty of atrocities, and by associating with extreme left-wing organizations fighting for victory for Ho Chi Minh.

Now really .... WHO REALLY WENT AWOL HERE ???

Fair enough--and a good point about Kerry. Thanks!
