Here's a thought, and it will eventually come and bite Ku Klux Kerry right in his BS lying arse.
Being a licensed Commercial Pilot, it certainly strikes me that a fighter jock ( i.e.: GDubya ) sure gets a lot better grip on the BIG PICTURE in a 'war zone' (..practice or otherwise..) since he's operating in a high-speed 3D environment encompassing the entire theatre of operations. You get to see the whole battle plan unfold from up there - like a giant moving map display. Hard to beat that for a strategic teaching tool.
Meanwhile, an Army lieutenant commanding a limited number of troops in a tropical jungle can't see squat; besides what shows on his map of the quadrant - or what he's 'need-to-know' told by his direct superior.
I grew up in Panama, and we used to go out and harass the visiting "..Jungle Warfare Training Center.." troops just for kix. I can damn well guarantee you that 100+ yards away from the TransIsthmian Highway you couldn't hear an 18-wheeler drive past. Add a load of mosquitos, jungle noises, snakes, rain, booby-traps, jock itch, wet feet, some hunger, and a general case of the "..miseries.." - and your interest in the BIG PICTURE goes away in a hurry.
John Kerry is no more than a glorified Boy Scout Troop leader; he sure isn't any "..Commander in Chief.." based on his grossly limited Viet Nam experiences - medals or no medals.
Everyone knows that ol' Floppy-ears Johnson (..and his pencil-necked geek Robert McNamara..) ran the Viet Nam war right down to the smallest details from the White House. Johnson quote, "..They can't shoot a gun or bomb an outhouse what I don't say so..."!!! The arrogant self-serving arse. One more bonehead blithering idiotic "..Demoncrat Jackass Control Freak.." like that and we'll all need to be learning Osama Lama Bin Ladin Arabic in a hurry.
Hence, John Kerry didn't have any more control over his existance or circumstances in Viet Nam than the head punk in an impromtu knife fight in the Bronx.
We've got a "..Commander in Chief..", and it would be pretty stupid to trade that for a starry-eyed BS WANNABE with no international terrorist stopping experience, from a promote gay-marriage state still effectively controlled by the wack-O liberal Kennedy's.
John :-)
