I have never met a real combat vet who struts his stuff around like Kerry does. I have met some "wannabe's" doing that. Something does not add up. I think the bulk of his crew and entire chain of command explain it well.
I have two "Vietnam Vets Against John Kerry" stickers on my truck.
By the way, REMF's came under fire too. I've got the hearing loss to prove it.
And you never will.
