Every war has pacifists and conscientious objectors and even disenchanted veterans, but there's simply no precedent for what John Kerry did: a man who put his combat credentials to the service of smearing his country's entire armed forces as rapists, decapitators and baby killers. That's the ''wound,'' Sen. McCain. That's why a crummy little war on the other side of the world still festers. That's why the band didn't play ''Fings Ain't Wot They Used T'Be'' and move on to the next item of business. Because Kerry didn't just call for U.S. withdrawal, he impugned the honor of every man he served with.

And everyone else in VNam.

Geez, if that's what all US forces were doing in VietNam
(according to the DU crowd), why aren't they more grateful
that President Bush never made it over there?

From their worldview, his 'cowardice' in hiding in the
Air National Guard would be a point in his _favor_ !

Worse, in the latest round, he and his political band of brothers have offended and impugned the honor of every person who ever served in the U.S. military.
