My Dad's a Vietnam vet, and is behind Kerry 100%. Even if this stuff is true and he was a young lying twerp, he was still committed to making his country a better place. Maybe he was misguided (ever know a 21-yr-old who wasn't?) but he was trying to make a difference.

What was Georgie up to in '71?

What does that show about who is more committed to the safety of fellow Americans?

Bush was proudly serving his country in the National Guard while Kerry was chit chating with the VC/NV in Paris and slandering our troops back in the States.

You're a troll. Bush served his country; Kerry didn't. End of story.

Just proves that intelligence is genetic. Some people are just born dumb.

I do not trust someone that would serve on the field of battle then return to slander the activities of those that he served with. Regardless of where Bush was in 71. I cannot accept your statement that Kerry was trying to make this country better. That is the standard tripe form his campaign.

John Forbes Kerry betrayed his fellow soldiers, claimed that he committed war crimes under orders from his government or superiors, yet when pressed about the issues to day, he refuse to speak of it, but is more that happy to bandy his metals about. Get a clue this snake is a political opportunist.

Before you go off say that there were war crimes committed in Vietnam. Aside for My Lai show me the facts on soldiers investigated or charged with War crimes in Vietnam.

I suggest you really look at Mr. Kerry's Record outside the DNC looking glass.

Just what we need in the White House, an old lying twerp.

I appreciate your Dad's service in Viet Nam and he is entitled to his own thoughts on Kerry. But for me, I don't want Kerry making decision on Foreign or National policies. The guy is 100% a politician from the get-go.

Granted, people mature, but in Kerry's case he wanted to be JFK when he was 21 and still has the same ambition, regardless of how he accomplishes his goal.

You Dad is a Democrat, and those people are faithful to the party.

Let's peruse your bravo-sierra statements, just for a moment. First, if he's a "young lying twerp" then Kerry committed perjury in congressional testimony. Perjuring oneself in front of congress cannot be validly interpreted as trying to make "his country a better place". It is criminal - and should be a disqualifying factor for any federal office.

Second, if he wasn't lying, then he committed crimes under the UCMJ for not reporting direct knowledge of the alleged atrocities to the military authorities - and please remember that Senator Kerry was still in the Naval Reserves at the time of his testimony.

In either case, Kerry was not "misguided". He committed a crime - under either scenario.

It doesn't matter a whit who your father supports, BTW. One out of 23 of Kerry's fellow swift boat commanders (from the picture that Kerry likes to use in his campaign) is also on board Kerry's bandwagon. IIRC, 16 or 18 of the other commanders have gone on-record against Kerry.

I'm a Gulf war vet. Does that fact mean that my opinion should be weighted more heavily than yours? Of course not! (But, then again, my opinion is based on facts - not empty rhetoric and contempt).

Finally, President Bush was a trained fighter pilot during the Vietnam war. Senator Kerry was in command of a swift boat, before he either perjured himself or was an accomplice to war crimes (take your pick).

But you'd rather shill for the perjurer or UCMJ criminal.

I don't know what it says about George Bush, but it tells me you're a dumbass. Hit the road.
