Jane Fonda was in a crowd. Senator Kerry who had not yet become a Senator but was a multiply decorated Viet Vet was in the same crowd a couple of rows back. A photo was taken showing both of them in the crow, with Kerry barely recognizable. At the time they did not know each other. Subsequently they did not work with each other. At no time did Senator Kerry ally himself with North Vietnam nor did he visit it.These are all facts which can be verified.
He chose to question the wisdom of Vietnam. Having served there and been shot there and saved other soldiers lives there, I figure he has the right to question that war.
If you care to contrast Kerry's armed forces experience with that of G W (Baby) Bush, you may certainly do so. But I fear that you will not be impressed with BB. You should be with Kerry.
I am not sure that Kerry is really the best candidate for President. However, in my opinion he has more of the character that America deserves in a president than Bush does.
I am a Republican. But I am definately not a supporter of Bush. And I do not like to see a decorated war hero (Kerry) made fun of and have cheap rumors started or spread about him. He has served our country under fire and hence has the full rights and freedom that America was founded to provide. Note that I am not sure that any person who has not served under fire in a war should be allowed to be president. Note also that I am not sure that any person who has not served under fire in a war and been shot at should have the full rights and freedoms of America. But then I am sort of old fashioned, and somewhat conservative.
