I think I heard somewhere that he was in Vietnam. Can't be sure, but he may have mentioned it recently in a speech. About a hundred times.

Yes, Kerry was in Vietnam...what he DOESN'T tell you, however, was that Kerry, during the Vietnam demonstrations of the 70s, took his medals and threw them over the White House fence in protest. It frosts my cookies when I hear Kerry talk about being a Vietnam vet when he did everything possible to stomp on his image of being there. I saw it on the black and white at the time...I remember how odd it was that a soldier would throw his medals away after he fought for the meaning of them...Kerry was pandering to the protestors at that time....NOT fighting for the soldiers.

...PER SPEECH That's supposed to make us forget the phony medal-throwing incident, and his rabid hatred of his fellow Vietnam vets (except the ones who ALSO hate their fellow Vietnam vets of course)
