Perhaps I do not understand your seeming partitioning of miltary Veterans as a separate,distinctive, minority group of Republicans.
The wording of your post just struck me as very odd.
Struck me as relegating military Veterans to a special interest, sub-group category, not really full registered Republicans.
Are you a former Democrat?

Jeeze, what do I have to say? It would be political suicide for the republicans to initiate this as an issue. By that I mean Bush or members of the RNC. How is that not clear? I've said it twelve time in twelve different ways. What is the problem?

If you disagree with this analysis, just say so. Just say that bush should openly challenge Kerry's military record, or Rove should go on record demanding Kerry's military record.

You need to read his posts, again.

"Veterans acting on their own initiative are a credible political force."

He's right. Whatever demand for Kerry's records, and for an accounting of his medals, Viet Nam vets need to do it. He said nothing like...

"...relegating military Veterans to a special interest, sub-group category, not really full registered Republicans."
