I also like the 'stripes' vs the young ROTC officer type dynamic that is subtly in play in the picture.
Kerry is just the type of green young officer that gets no respect from the guys who have seen action. The sentiment, of course, is if we follow this buffon, he's going to get us all killed. I always got a laugh out of that.
Leave it to the Dems to take a green junior officer's 4 months in Vietnam and collectively pretend he is a combo of Sgt York and Audie Murphy.
Kerry was a traitor (Benedict Arnold was also a hero to both sides of a war).
4 months .....
Just a little over 100 days........ in Vietnam
