Kerry went to Nam and assembled a brilliant war record based on fraud. His contempararies never called him on it because it wasn't that noticeable and they were too busy. He came back and ran on it without going into details or being questioned for 30 plus years. I don't recall Kerry's Nam tour ever coming up in any of his Senate campaigns, except as normal background filler. Massachusetts politics didn't require a 'war hero' Senator, and the campaigns were all about various domestic issues of local interest, as you would expect. I think this is the first campaign that Kerry has really tried to leverage the 'war hero' stuff, because it's the first where he really needs to shield himself against anti-war-McGovernite-dove accusations. Being called an anti-war-McGovernite-dove is not a charge that sticks in Massachusetts politics.
