I don't understand why talk show hosts (and callers) don't just say, "OK, he was awarded medals, and he honorably served his country."
But that was 30+ years ago. And believe it or not, you can be a decorated war "hero" and still be a scum-bag.
Don't foget that Timothy McVeigh was awarded the Bronze Star in Gulf War I. And that if not for the actions of Benedict Arnold at the battle of Lake Champlaign, the Continental Army would have probably lost the revolutionary war.
For some reason, these two are better known for actions they took AFTER their wars...
I find myself shouting this at the TV and radio alot these days!

You make excellent points! But, any caller who says Kerry "honorable served his country" would be a liar!
Have you seen that video of Kerry walking around in the jungle, amoung the natives? Did you know that the man is recording a crime? He was committing a crime by walking out in the jungle! He was a commander on a Swift Boat....he was not suppose to leave the boat! He left his post to shoot his propaganda video! How arrogant and self serving is that?!
