Re: Kerry is trying to use his war experience as a way to demonstrate that he will be strong on national security issues.

FALSE. The democrat party, in my lifetime, lothes all things military.

Without knowing your age, the Dems were not always anti-military. Truman, JFK, Johnson, and Carter served honorably in the military (although Johnson's service has some questions, e.g., his award of a Silver Star.) Many of today's Dems, Clinton being the prime example, were part the Vietnam anti-war movement. They are still fighting the caricature of the Dr. Strangelove military filled with generals who were frothing at the mouth to go to war. They learned the wrong lessons from Vietnam.
