[Between the Lines]

I wouldn't attack most people's service in Vietnam either, but this guy, JFK(erry), uses it as a prop, so I think it's a fair target. He actually had someone shoot video footage of his exploits there, because he planned to use it in his political career. He was already planning ahead...

Don't get me wrong, I don't like Kerry, but he received a Silver Star, Bronze Star and three awards of the Purple Heart for his service in combat. Not many get three Purple Hearts. He lived it, so he has the right to use it. Regardless of his political view, he has earned the right.

Weren't two for hangnails?

Yes, he lived it (Vietnam), but I find it troubling that some of the people he commanded believe that he put them at risk needlessly, and he was called "reckless" (I think that was the word).

He seems to always have been planning ahead to his political life. I find that a bit of problem, but really no different than some other politicians who live to rule us eventually.

And one of the refreshing things about Ahnuld S. is when he said "I didn't live my whole life to be a governor"...unlike this man JFK(erry).
