Yep...and if it was Bush that got the Silver Star in Vietnam for what some have called a war crime, I can guarantee that they would be attacking him for that. While I applaud Kerry's service and the actions he took in battle, if he was a Republican, the left would be calling this "war hero" a coward for murdering a wounded and retreating soldier. The hypocrisy of listening to Moore condemn Bush while he supports "General" Clark and defends "Lt." Kerry's war record, is unbelievable. These guys make heroes out of anyone who tried to avoid Vietnam...especially if they protested the US from foreign soil. Hey, maybe that's were Bush went wrong:)

"the left would be calling this "war hero" a coward for murdering a wounded and retreating soldier."

What I find ironic is that is what some Republicans are doing exaclty in respect to Kerry. Even posting on here that Kerry shot a wounded teen in a ghandi like diaper. There is a lot of smearing on both sides.

I never considered Kerry's service as an issue for attack. Just like Bush they served and got an honorable discharge. The post Navy record for Kerry should have been t he line of attack not to question the medals - which is unseemly for Republicans.

For the record I have no reason to doubt the Navy's official record on Kerry and tip my hat to his service. But his post war record I consider quasi-treasonable and without honor. Post war record is what we should be getting him on.
