If Kerry went through the proper channels, I don't think there's a whole lot to pin on him. The only way something like this would be effective is if it contradicted other statements by him (something along the lines of "I was injured" or something like that).

If KERRY wants to call BUSH a deserter for missing a physical, then what is good for the goose is good for the gander.

Kerry requested out after three "wounds" in three months, none requiring hospitalization. In and out of Nam in four months, and completely out of the navy a few months later.

Sailing with JFK didn't hurt his family pull either.

By the way, does anyone know what his Bronze and Silver Stars were awarded for?
