There's plenty in Kerry's background to dwell on without involving his parents. No sense in sinking to the level of Democrats here.
Incidentally, do you know when Richard Kerry was diagnosed w/ tuberculosis? I don't.
I guess your answer is 'No.'
Given that the subject is one about influence of powerful persons on military assignments, I think it's within reason to question whether or not the Forbes family exerted influence on the placement of J. Kerry's father.
