I've heard some twisted stupid spins on stuff but this is right up there with a lot of rush limpblob's stuff. Lets look at what Kerry did. If he just wanted to get the veteran credentials, then his first posting to Vietnam would have been enough. But then to volunteer for a second term, in the riverine patrols (swiftboats), says far more. That's not something for the faint hearted. Kerry did a lot more than Cheyney, (I was too busy), or Bush (served in in the "Cadillac" squadron - a unit that never would have been activated).You may be able to say what you want but its an insult to question his volunteer service. What Kerry did is a hell of a lot more honourable than the excuses and rich kids back door that the Republicans and other chicken hawks managed to do. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Introducing the Fusion Authority Quarterly Update. 80 pages of hard-hitting, up-to-date ColdFusion information by your peers, delivered to your door four times a year. http://www.fusionauthority.com/quarterly Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/message.cfm/messageid:220453 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5
