So did John Kerry, Your point is?

[kabar]

My point is that before I call someone a candyass, opine that "his tough guy act is pathetic," and disparage his military service, I better have the facts. We can attack Murtha for the substance of his remarks. It is not necessary to go after his military service.

Kerry had a phony war record as the SBVFT ably documented and Kerry never refuted. It was a legitimate issue in the campaign.

FYI: I am also a Vietnam veteran who served a full year in-country and eight months off the coast. Unlike Murtha, I totally support our invasion of Iraq and our continued presence there until the Mission is completed. That is the real lesson of Vietnam.
