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.

Good morning

"You can't question one sailor's valor without questioning them all-no shades of gray or situational ethics."

Actually, in the interest of friendly inter-service rivalry I question the valor of squids on a regular basis. That doesn't impact my belief that most service people are generally preferable to leg civilians any day.

This is about john kerry and know one else.
