Sorry, Chuck. I was in Vietnam Veterans Against the War--Boston office. I met Kerry back then. His military service is the real deal and beyond question. During those days there were no questions about his military service. The questions were whether or not Kerry was using VVAW for his own political gain. Kerry essentially wanted to lead the whole organization, but the organization was centrally grassroots organized and wanted no leader at the top. Here's a difference about Kerry you might like. When the war ended and the Peace Movement folded its tents, Kerry went on to become a prosecuter; I went on to manage rock n' roll bands. Think you should give Kerry a bit of credit for this decision?

Back up your BS. Kerry doesn't talk about details of his combat heroism, other people do. People who witnessed it and have researched it. The Globe series is very tough and scrutinizing on Kerry. The Nixon and Weld campaigns were also very hard on Kerry, trying hard to destroy him. The author of "Tour Of Duty" was tough. The life-long Republican Green Beret whose life JK saved is no phony hyping anything. The vets who travel with Kerry are not liberals. Before you smear our war heros, make sure you know what you're talking about. The facts about Kerry's military tour are clear. Very very clear and no exaggerations. So what if he didn't sustain serious wounds? Who ever said he did? Kerry has never exaggerated his service. In fact he doesn't even like to talk about it. He only mentions it in a general sense. "I fought in a war", etc.
