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?

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.

To: There's millions of'em
Thanks for the analysis. It would probably take an actuary to measure relative danger. If one unit had 200 men and lost 1 per month while the other had 60 men and lost 2 per year,... blah, blah blah.

I fear the President's honorable service has been tarnished by the incessant bleating of the media. With nothing more than an unfounded allegation from the head of the DNC, they turned it into the lead story for weeks on end. The only evidence produced supported the President's position.

Even if they don't issue their paychecks, it's pretty obvious they were doing the DNC's bidding here as if they were on the DNC payroll.
