Navarette has raised a good point, but my take on it veers slightly. The left once used Viet Nam as an issue to divide and disrupt the Nation, impugn the military, engage in violence, and try to tear down the Government. Now, once again, the left is using Viet Nam as a matter of political expedience to once again divide the country, only this time they are using Kerry's Viet Nam combat service to justify why THEY should be the ones in control of the Government that they hated so much during the war years.

[FairOpinion]

The Dems are showing that they are only interested in capturing and retaining power by any means possible. They have no shame.

They were defending Clinton for his draft dodging, now they are promoting Kerry, as a "war hero", pretending that his leadership role in the anti-war effort doesn't even exist.

Kerry's "combat" experience in Nam is also suspect. I understand the wounds he received were only scratches and the VC he encountered to win his silver star was either already dead or badly shot up by .50 cal machine gun fire (our brave Kerry merely administering the coup de grasse to the head or some other vital).

I think that would go a long way to explain his bragging about his service record of late. A true hero doesn't have to brag and is the first to credit his heroism to fallen comrades. I believe Kerry is a first-class phony and everyone will know it by election day.
