Vietnam was before my time so I'll ask the Freeper veterans this question: The article says Kerry served on CTF-115. There is a page that lists CTF casualties Here. Does this mean his unit lost 2 men in 1967 and 1 in 1969? If so, how much more danger did Kerry face in his 4-month deplyment than the President faced in his time in the air?

That appears to be the case, but those are not official records.

If so, how much more danger did Kerry face in his 4-month deplyment than the President faced in his time in the air?

Even if one could come up with an acceptable way to measure "danger" it doesn't matter. Trying in any way to "compare" W's service to JFK's service is what the libs want you to do. There is no argument. They both served honorably. Period. JFK went to VN, W was in the TXANG.
