Kerry was a key participant in the VC efforts against America. They needed 5th columnists and spokesmen for thier side in the US. Kerry volunteered. Why? He is an elitist snob or, perhaps, he just wanted to avoid discussion of the fact that he bugged out when the going got tough.
I just happened to watch one of the big three left wing anchors who reads small bits of the news recently and couldn't believe they failed to see the irony is a story they did. It was about a Marine who lost a foot and was in rehab. As soon as he finished rehab HE WAS GOING BACK TO HIS UNIT! I was amazed that they ran it and didn't see the stark contrast between the jarhead and Flipper who fabricated wounds and bugged out on his unit so he could make the tea dances at his restricted club on the Cape.
I agree, Kerry is not only a phoney, he is dangerous. We MUST defeat him !!
