I dont hold John F. Kennedy in high regard with respect to his service because I believe he should have been court-martialed for allowing a Japanese Destroyer to run over his patrol boat through extreme incompetence.
In 1992, when Bill Clinton (draft dodger that spent part of the Vietnam War in the Soviet Union) ran for President, John Kerry said Vietnam should be in the past and we should look forward, but throughout his campaign Senator Flip-Flop has done nothing but make Vietnam the centerpiece of his candidacy. It is only fair that his service is vetted.
Remember he compared Bushs service in the TANG to draft dodging and getting a deferment. He tried to embrace Mcauliffe's AWOL charge until the Kerry/Fonda photo surfaced...then Harold Ford Jr. got steamed...saying if we want to go down that road they'd go after the AWOL thing...they've already done that since 2000.

I"m a veteran, I won't stoop to the level of some on this issue. Its counterproductive on multiple levels.
All of this serves to distract from discussing Kerry's 18 years in the Senate, specifically his voting record.
To date, not enough is being done to highlight Kerry's leftwing lunacies of the past two decades.
This "story" does Kerry more good than harm, if for no other reason than it delays once again a open debate concerning this guys voting record. He's been on the wrong side of every major issue this nation has faced for three decades, yet average Americans aren't being made aware of it.
This is exactly how we ended up with Jimmy Carter in 1976.
