Kerry's combat record may be in play, but I think it is a losing play. Kerry may not have been the most heroic combat veteran of all time, but he faced enemy fire, he displayed the ability to overcome the flight instinct, he led his men and closed with the enemy and inflicted damage on the enemy. There is no record that he ever panicked nor give his subordinates reason to question his leadership. That's what the military expects from junior officers.
Everything he did after his tour in Viet Nam though should be exploited for whatever political value it can. He broke faith with his fellow combatants and deserves whatever calumny his actions and statements merit.
