I don't respect his service so much as I do the fact that he went someplace I would not want to go,and enlisted to do a job that helps keep my kids free.

And even if it was for different reasons than most true American heroes go to war, I still have to give him the slightest bit of slack for being a Veteran.

But I agree, we need to see the records. It is our right to see them. It is only fair to the Veterans he has trashed, and it is our right to know who is running for President,on the platform of being said war hero. I used to think we should let it be... That was before he was running for President as a war hero.

On a side note,I think it is tragic to pit Viet Nam vet against Viet Nam vet,esp. for political gain.

And I place the blame for that at John Kerry's feet, and the rest of his buddies.

I just hope we don't do that here, at FR. Our Viet Nam Veterans have been thru enough bashing by this country. I for one am sick of it.

BTW- I am not accusing you of that, in any way- I am just taking this opportunity to make a statement.

Good post. I agree that Kerry should be given credit for going and not fleeing to Canada.

Yeah, not only Vietnam, look at what is said here about Lynch, a war veteran who did absolutely nothing wrong. I was sick of that on the first day of it.
