Guess he used his draft evading skills to avoid service just as bill the boob.
So the question is where was John?
Why does it matter to Kerry that Cheney wasn't in Vietnam when Clinton wasn't and Edwards wasn't. Kerry wants to wave the bloody shirt of Vietnam to isolate himself from any criticism. Hence, he says he was in Vietnam all the time and that any criticism of his votes is an attack on his patriotism. It's a red herring. The media will back him up, but we can make this the hoot of a joke that it is. Now not only do we say "he was in Vietnam" but we say "that's an attack on my patriotism" for the scondrel statement that it is.
I'll probably get banned for this, and I don't care. I don't like Kerry, but I don't like Bush either. It's a crappy choice either way.
Anyway, Bush didn't serve in the military the chicken ran under his daddy's protection and never had to serve. And THAT'S documented. I don't care whether or not Kerry was given medals for whatever reason. At least he was in Nam and has the pictures to prove it. I'm just sick and tire of this stupid debate about Kerry's record...he was there, face it, Bush wasn't. That entire topic should have been avoided. You don't go after someone in a questionable argument. You hit them where they are truly weakest. Then all you arguments hod up, and there's no disputing your claims.
The main focus should be Kerry's flip flopping.
ANd I think republicans are LUCKY that the Democrats have not broken open and pecked at the wound of Bush AWOL year as much as we've poked at Kerry's record.
They're both just a couple of fortunate sons.
