I am certainly not a supporter of Kerry, but I don't think making a mockery of his service in Vietnam is useful or helpful. Whether you like it or not, Kerry served his country under fire and placed his life on the line. He wasn't a draft dodger amd didn't see a deferment or service in the National Guard. The only thing I find ironic is the fact that Kerry expressed his shame at participation in the war after he came home and now he wears it as a badge of honor.

Somebody is giving Kerry heck about his mention of AK-47's.

Just one of many things that bother me about this man.

I agree, that is what bothers me

That war was hell and I won't say anything against anyone that served and fought

But the way he is using it for his own political means .. well that bothers me

The man LEAD an veterans anti-war effort in my country. Certinly that deserves to be explained, does it not ??

IMHO, the larger lesson is "what did we learn from vietname", and karys answer to that question is that the military suchs, and shouldn't be used, whereas most Americans view the lesson of viatname as "Don't let liberals loose a war the military can win"

That's what turns people off.He was a vocal leader against the war when he came back,but now uses it as a plus.He obviously served with distinction.He threw someone elses medals across the White House fence to emphasize his disdain without revealing they were not his medals for a very long time.
