And Dumbya, your hero, did the right thing, right? He didn't want to go kill innocent people in Vietnam, so he defended the Texas skies from the evil ones, and drank champagne in the evenings. Kerry vs. Dumbya. Wonder why people find it so hard to realize that Dumbya is the REAL hero here... ;-)

Disagree. They don't hand out Silver Stars like popsicles in August....I don't doubt Kerry's personal bravery.....its his politics which are cowardly....

Kerry a war hero? slate.msn.com Scroll down to "Reality Check." Reality check: On March 17, 1969, Kerry's superior officer passed along a request from Kerry to be reassigned "as a personal aide in Boston, New York, or Wash., D.C. area." The basis for this request was a rule that allowed any Navy officer with three wounds to seek reassignment "regardless of the nature of the wounds." Kerry had indeed received three wounds, but all were minor (they had caused him to miss only two days of service), and the third was on March 13, 1969, just four days before his transfer request was forwarded. In sum, he got out as soon as he could. The Boston Globe noted that "none of [Kerry's] wounds was disabling" and that he got his transfer "six months before his combat tour was slated to end." According to the Globe, "Kerry declined … to sign a waiver authorizing the release of military documents that are covered under the Privacy Act and that might shed more light on the extent of the treatment Kerry needed as a result of the wounds."

Well, let's see JP. your own monkey, Bush, used his family connections to jump over the 400 people ahead of him in line for the Air Guard, then went AWOL for a year when he was supposed to be defending Arkansas from commie attack. NOW, he's a super-patriot! Gimme a break! What did he do on 9/11? Jumped on Air Force One and didn't come down! He piss his pants if he had to go to war. Kerry may "look" French, but he's WAY more manly than junior.
