As John Kerry touts his Vietnam service and his rescue of a fallen (Republican) comrade, he reminds of us of how he would never leave a US soldier behind. His record after his service, however, is far different...were, if he had his way, thousands of US soldiers would've been left behind. John Kerry didn't just protest the Vietnam War, he marched with those who wanted to see the US defeated. With his testimony that disparaged every US soldier in the field, he abandoned all of them to both the enemy and to those who returned home in disgrace because of his words. He may not have left this man behind, but becasue of his actions, he left thousands of others behind.

This wasn't the first and only time that Kerry abandoned the American soldier, as he was one of a handful of Senators who voted against some of the very staples in the US military's arsenal...from the Bradley, to the Apache, to the Abrahms, to some of the most important weapons systems that protect the lives of the American service person. If Kerry really doesn't believe in leaving soldiers behind, then why on earth would a man who voted to give the president the power to use force in Iraq, then vote against the very funding to complete the mission? If Kerry had his way, there would be over 150,000 US soldiers that would've been left behind.

His voting record on issues such as intelligence and military spending only support these conclusions...as well as his myopic view that the war on terrorism is an exaggeration. If Kerry had his way, the Cold War would never have ended because this is the same attitude he had about the Soviet Union...and how that was all just an exaggeration, as well. This man can NOT be trusted with the security of this country...and it pains me to see any Vet support this fraud.

Does anyone know exactly what Kerry's injuries were? The first one I'm sure was legit, but for some reason it would not surprise me if the other two were not self-inflicted. He was aware of the Navy's rule, "Three wounds and your out." I'm not accusing him of this; I just said it would not be unbelievable to me. I think the political wheels in his head were turning long before the war while boating with the real JFK. Everything this man does is for political gain.
