Studs Terkel is one of the folks involved with citizen soldier.org. When asked about Kerry, Studs Terkel said:

"Here’s Kerry. Long ago when he came back from the Vietnam war I interviewed him. I had a whole series on Vietnam, including officers who returned and he was one of them. I have a tape with him but I can’t find it now. He was one of the officers opposed to the Vietnam and he was good. He was very good. But then he comes out for [Bush’s resolution after] 9/11. It’s a matter of guts. That’s the big thing, whether you have the guts. He didn’t."

Prior post was about story line in early 2004, but then, like Kerry comes "On September 14, 2004, nearly 80 leaders out of 113 who backed Nader in 2000 signed a petition urging people to vote for John Kerry. Many are luminaries of the left—Noam Chomsky, Howard Zinn, Susan Sarandon, Studs Terkel and many others."
