Quote from the Article: "The campaign collectively underestimated the effect of the swift boats. It was a collective mistake," recalled Michael Whouley, a longtime Kerry operative. "I think the candidate was probably the most concerned about it. It pissed him off, people attacking his Vietnam service."

I have never understood why he made such a big deal out of 4 months of service. Lots of guys put in 4 years, and even mud marines put in a whole year as the expected tour.

Because Kerry, overall, is a girly man, and it's the one thing he can point to, other than giving
mouth to mouth to a hamster named Lemiwinks or some such.

Do you remember that during the primaries, the Kerry Kampaign fired Chris Lehaine(sp?) for suggesting
that Kerry back off the Vietnam thing?
