Good morning.
"If you deride 1 sailor's service-you deride them all-jerk!!!"
What an absurd statement to make. john kerry chose the Navy (actually the Naval Reserve - shorter active duty obligation, you know.) after being denied a deferment to study for a year in France. He did this to avoid the risk being drafted into the Army. He has tried to present his service as that of a heroic volunteer. The reality is that john kerry is a phony and a traitor. How does that statement "deride" the service of anyone else?
Seems to me I first heard your argument coming from kerry shills after the Swifties appeared.

Good afternoon.
"What an absurd statement to make..."
I stand by it because the original comment/post implied that Kerry joined the Navy to fight the 'powerfull' N. Vietnamese Navy. Which implies that the Navy and anyone in it did so to avoid 'true' service. That to me is a backhand at the Navy and all who served in the Navy during the Vietnam war. You can't question one sailor's valor without questioning them all - no shades of gray or situational ethics. The same goes for medals awarded and those that received them.
None of my comments come from anyone but me.
