I guess you must have a hard time understanding the support of the men that served under Kerry. I imagine you also have a difficult time explaining the way he acquitted himself under fire on numerous occasions. I'm sure you can't explain why he stood in heavy fire and exposed himself while pulling in the special forces man who'd been tossed out of the boat in the explosions of the ambush they'd just passed through.

But all you can say is Kerry is the only US Naval Officer I know of to ever abandon his men and his ship in combat because he was slightly wounded. Fair and balanced? ....Yeah, sure.

>> Unlike Gore, Kerry did request combat duty, but after three months requested to be relieved because of three slight wounds.

That is still better than your hero Bush, who not only did not request combat duty, but stopped showing up for any kind of duty. Not even for his physical exam.
