you can't be so naive to think that Kerry didn't expect his military record to be an issue...this is more Kerry strategery...
Here's what he's hiding...NOTHING
He wants the Right to toot thier horn for a few weeks and then make fools out of themselves when he releases what is likley a rather booring document.
And with every challenge, you give him another oppourtunity to trumpet his VietNam service and 3 Purple hearts...which all sounds pretty good to your average American
Meanwhile you wasted a day not attacking is voting record.
