Thank You. Here is what McCain says about Kerry:
(from the Boston Globe biography which all should read)

"In the ensuing weeks and months, McCain and Kerry individually, and then together, concluded that the unresolved divisions of the Vietnam War were causing too much national anguish, and that it was time to put the war to rest.

Four years later, on a summer day in 1995, Kerry and McCain stood beside President Clinton in the East Room at the White House as he announced that the United States would normalize diplomatic relations with Vietnam. For a president who most famously had not served in their war, the two combat veterans served as wingmen.

In his work toward that day, Kerry earned the "unbounded respect and admiration" of McCain, who, like others in the Senate, originally viewed Kerry with suspicion. "You get to know people and you make decisions about them," says McCain. "I found him to be the genuine article."

* For this the far right Bushie vet critics called both McCain and Kerry "traitors".

Are you humble enough to admit that you didn't serve
in Vietnam?

Or does your profile falsely state your age as 22?

Enquiring minds want to know.............

I missed Vietnam but I'm a disabled vet and I'm voting for Bush.

By the way I missed Vietnam because I was 12 when we left. I am 44 now. What am I missing about your age and the fact that you served in Vietnam?

Hell boy, your not even old enough to have served and gotten a good conduct discharge if you went in on the day of your HS graduation.

I fought in Vietnam... The Vietnamese police should have shot you dead in the street as a criminal. The Vietnam war was over 8 years before you were born.
