You didn't, because you claimed that the fact that Rudy was not involved in combat activity means that you don't know whether he's tough on terrorists or not. Bush has never been involved in combat activity, while Kerry was. Why did you not vote for Kerry, because of the terrorism issue?
You're a typical Rudymaniac. You have your fingers in your ears chanting na na na na I can't hear you. You asked me if I voted for Kerry and I answered you and told you why.
I never mentioned anything about Rudy's "combat activity". Rudy has had absolutely nothing to do with the military and war fighting, ever. He actively avoided the draft. He has never had a position that dealt with oversight of the military or war fighting. Kerry was, indeed, far more experienced on these issues than Rudy.
And, BTW, President Bush was a fighter pilot flying cold war anti-interdiction missions along the US coast. You might not remember, but these missions were considered essential to the protection of the US from possible soviet air attacks. This is military experience in my book.
