On the comparison of military careers, Kerry's service is more distinguished, and his experience is more useful to a CIC. Kerry is a far better choice for President than Bush.
Let's start there. By that standard:
John Adams, President during an undeclared war with France, was clearly unqualified.
James Polk, President during the Mexican War, was clearly unqualified.
Cleveland actually paid someone to fight in his place during the Civil War. HIGHLY questionable by your standard.
Woodrow Wilson, President during WW1, was clearly unqualified.
FDR, President during WW2, was clearly unqualified.

Slick Willie, who ordered, multiple military actions, dodged the draft and protested the Vietnam War in a foreign country.
By your standards, about half of the US Presidents who were in office during wars were incompetent.
First stop telling lies, because Kerry spent two tours of duty in Vietnam, and did his full 4 years of service.
First, he himself makes nothing of the year on the Gridley. Rarely mentions it. If it hadn't existed, it would have made no difference to the war. You know it, I know it, amd he knows it. What he DOES make a big deal of is 4 months on a swift boat.
AND he did NOT spend 4 years in the service. He got an early discharge to run for office, remember?
I know there are some that will harp on the honorable discharge that Bush got, but we all know that an honorable discharge was pretty much what everybody got
What Kerry SHOULD have gotten was a treason trial.
unless you did something really stupid
You mean like negotiate with the enemy as a private citizen, a crime defined in the Constitution? Or aid and abet the enemy?
On the comparison of military careers, Kerry's service is more distinguished, and his experience is more useful to a CIC.
And so you explain Adams, Polk, Cleveland, Wilson, FDR, and Slick by .... ?
The economy
NOOOOO. Slick did a really good job of screwing the economy. Maybe you should see him about your health insurance costs.
He's over spent and under taxed raising the deficit and the debt.
Do you know in 1943 federal expenditures were 243% of receipts? What does this say of FDR? |
