You would think a smart Yalie would finish at the top of his class [in Navy training classes] What exactly do you think intellectual propensity has to do with military training? Just curious. Whatever details you dig up, there is one big thing that overrides them all - One candidate dodged Vietnam and then didn't even show up to the easy task that was his charge. The other went to Vietnam and got a couple of medals.

Whatever you say but Kerry earned a Silver Star, a Bronze Star, and 3 Purple Hearts while in Nam signed off by his superior officers including an Admiral. Make this an issue and compare him to Bush who evaded service in Vietnam by using political influence to get in the ANG and then going over the hill for a few months. He also seems to have washed out of flying authorization. MOST IMPORTANTLY, AS COMMANDER IN CHIEF, HE DISPLAYED EXTREME COWARDICE ON 9-11 AFTER BEING TOLD THE NATION WAS UNDER ATTACK.
