I spoke with my Dad about Kerry's attack on Cheney and he was furious. Back in the 60's my Dad was putting himself through college and unsure about what he really wanted to do when he decided to join the Navy. At the last minute he was persuaded by his folks to finish his studies so he could enter service as an officer. Well, things change -- he finished school, met my Mom and she was pregnant within months of their wedding (Catholic). By the time Vietnam was in full swing, he was older and had a young family to support -- the same situation that Cheney was in. My Dad has also always been a huge supporter of the military and you can bet he did not trash Vets when they came home from that war like Kerry did.
My Dad was greatly offended by Kerry's comments. Every time Kerry opens his mouth, he manages to offend someone.
I'm beginning to think that Kerry is mentally unstable. What kind of guy runs around for 30 years talking about 'Nam? Most true war heroes don't say anything their service.
I think the correct term is SOLIPISM. Kerry lives in a world of his own creation. BTW, I think this means nuts too!
