I supported the "draft dodger" as you say..... The war hero became a "war hero" by getting shot down in his plane.... Will not belittle his service to his country and will thank him for it instead, but unless he was recognized for heroism we are only being polite when we call him a hero.... Now, your point in asking the question was????

in 1996 a notable draft-dodger ran for re-election against a bona-fide war hero. You've evidently forgotten that the same doubt of his heroicism bona fides was pulled on Bush Senior when he was running. Someone could google it and find testimony that he wasn't a hero at all. I don't care, so won't bother. It had nothing to do with his qualifications to be president, and neither does the sneering at Kerry's silver and bronze medals have anything to do with his qualifications. Until now, all posting I've done on Kerry has been negative.
