Kerry walked into it by being an idiot. He should have refused to say anything about Vietnam beyond "I went, I served, and that's all I'm gonna say". That would, of course, draw a marked distinction between him and Bush, who, no matter what anyone says, rather pointedly arranged his affairs to make sure he wouldn't go to Vietnam. Well, yes, but as you say Bush isn't running on his Vietnam-era years. Kerry is, and the stupidity and arrogance of running as some kind of Vietnam hero when he rose to fame as a Vietnam protestor who infuriated millions of fellow vets by slinging around charges of routine American war crimes, is the real subject of discussion. Did Kerry think that his 1971 testimony wasn't going to come up in the campaign, or that by mentioning Vietnam in every speech he gave was going to somehow prevent it from coming up? What was he thinking?
