That says it all. My original point was, and still is, that lower level combat experience is not a qualifier for the presidency and certainly not a precursor as to how a potential president would perform as our commander in chief. It is silly and disingenuous for Kerry to make this the centerpiece of his candidacy. He is exceedingly unpopular amongst the active military and that fact will be part of the story during the fall campaign.

He is exceedingly unpopular amongst the active military and that fact will be part of the story during the fall campaign. And if the Bush folks pull it that way during fall then you know that there are 130,000 or so troops in Iraq. And their families will wonder why on earth is Bush commanding their near and dear ones overseas including the Guards when he himself evaded going to Vietnam. That is something he will have to answer similar to the 9/11 answers he is compelled to provide to the victims' families. It is certainly going to be about what Bush has done, his performance.
