<<One of his three injuries cost him "about two days" of active service and the other two did not interrupt his duty. Kerry has refused to authorize the release of his Vietnam medical records for independent verification.>> They must have been very severe wounds. When I served I lost five days of service to have my tonsils removed.

Kerry was a combat hero and Bush and Cheney were both draft-dodging cowards. To this day Bush still lies about his record. So do you Bushies really want to keep making Vietnam an issue? Ever since you guys have, Bush's approvcal ratings have slid 5% and Kerry is surging. People just don't care about your trivial complaints and outlandish BS attacks. Why not concentrate on issues and Cheney-Bush's record of failure and lies vs. Kerry's solutions? If you have a problem with one of Kerry's solutions (not back in 1971 but now) then state it. You lose arguing about 1971 anyway because Bush was AWOL in 1972 and Cheney got 5 deferrments despite being able bodied enough to serve. Besides, it's Cheney-Bush trying to pass themselves off as military macho dudes, not Kerry. That's why we call them chickenhawks. Agreed?

Every opponent who attacked Kerry's military record has lost to him. Therefore the Kerry campaign loves it when the Bushies desperately try to spit on Kerry's heroism and thereby compare war records, or lack thereof on Bush and Cheney's cases. Most Americans just don't like people who attack war heros with trivial nagging and outright slander. Especially when those complaining all dodged the draft and let someone else get shot at in their places. Let's face it, Bush and Cheney were both chickenhearted cowards when it was their time to serve. They backed the war but refused to get anywhere near serving in it. That makes them total hypocrites attacking war heros Kerry, McCain and Cleland the way they and their surrogates have. In fact, not a single rightwing leader has ever served in combat. Think about that. The height of hypocrisy huh? And it also seems now that half the rightwing's top pundits are secretly gay. Amazing.
