I'm starting to wonder if Kerry and his powerful Kennedy associates didn't have his tour and medals pretty much scripted before he ever went to Vietnam. They needed a clean-cut, upper class officer with heroic combat experience to front their disinformation campaign. Kerry was a perfect fit for the part, and was hungering for a political career.

IMHO, Kerry was building a political career, long before VN. Somebody pulled the right strings, Kerry got in the Navy with a commission, strings got pulled to get into action. When things got hot, strings pulled him out. Then when he felt he had accomplished what he wanted to do, strings pulled him out and into the fertile anti war Massachusetts environment. It must be nice to have a guardian angel. (with the right strings)

He "fell" into an activist role pretty darn quick did'nt he after he returned.. Wonder if he had any "help" when he was in Vietnam to pull this off.. The Kennedys push a pretty wide wake politcally.. Yeah the sailors that served with him would be a good idea.. but could be they were ringers too.. The whole dog and pony show looks fishy.. I'm pretty cynical these days but I would glad if he just got lucky.. The democrats during the nintys cured me of under estimating the sedition and veritable treason thats been common for decades in the entire democrat party not just with Clinton..
