Any Veteran that would vote for John Kerry has forgotten their patriotic service. John Kerry by definition is an anti-patriot.
I think most veterans understand that Kerry is an anti-war, anti-military pacifist and a turncoat. This veteran won't vote for vermin.
You're being much too kind.
you're absolutely correct. The fact that he saluted smartly at the beginning of hisacceptance speech opened the gates to what he did and said "while still a commissioned officer" 35 years ago. He caused POWs to be put on the spot by his testimony; caused regular vets to cover up for his lies (ie in Cambodia, close to Cambodia, etc) and then goes so far as to say after he got back that Vietnam was the "biggest nothing in history." My opinion: he lost his election chances in the first 30 seconds of his DNC speech.
