Read up a bit, LBJ was already in Congress and was the first member to put on a uniform, January 1942. Do not twist this as an endorsement, I know the full story of his one aborted flight Silver Star.

Whether or not anyone decides that going after Kerry as a deserter is out of bounds is nearly irrelevent, it's a non-starter. But, go ahead and spend all the time on it you want.

Bush flew F-104 "Widowmakers" for 2 years during the Cold War as well as the VN era. Something like 1/4 of these planes crashed due to their poor design, and MANY pilots were killed. So if "3 scratch Kerrey" is going to trumpet his awesome heroism and imply Bush was a "deserter" or AWOL, then he needs to get ready for back blast, both about his 3 scratch combat escape, and his admitted machine-gunning of women and children in the free fire zones.
