The Boston Globe photo shows Kerry in his Lowell living room watching Nixon on television, January, 1973.
The caption refers to Kerry as a leader of VVAW.
Rumors of Kerry's prior resignation seem much exaggerated.
Kerry and his willing handmaidens wish to have it both ways:
A) It was long, long ago, and does not matter whether he was at a meeting to discuss killing senators;
B) Kerry's service was not too long ago to be a constant, even incessant, theme of his campaign.
I see both his service and his disservice as fair game.
His medals were self-cited, for trivial wounds and the illegal murder of a wounded combatant;
His stateside activities were at the least treasonous (appreciated by Col. Bui Tin et al) and perhaps criminal conspiracy.
The agency of Hurley as memory gestapo is a fatal case of doth protest too much.
The theft a la Cameron Kerry of the documents is icing.

John Kerry Watching Nixon on Television
John Kerry, a Vietnam vet and head of Vietnam Veterans Against the War, watches as President Nixon announces an agreement on a cease fire in Vietnam. Kerry, who lost to Republican Paul Cronin (D-Mass) in the November general elections said, "my initial reaction is thank God that the prisoners are coming home and that we at least have stopped American participation in the war."
