Every decorated combat vet is being victimized by Bush's Swiftboat vets. If Kerry was able to deceive his commanders, his Admiral and the Naval secretary, in order to receive 3 purple hearts, a Silver Star and a Bronze Star, then every decorated Viet Nam combat veteran comes under suspicion for their own medals. Are we gullible enough to believe that Kerry could have deceived all of these professionals some forty years ago in order to receive FIVE commendations that he later planned to use for his political advantage some 40 years later? The Bush team cares nothing for the thousands of honorable veterans who received their commendations. They are casting doubt on the honorable naval system of awarding these medals. Bush was never in foreign combat, he was never in Viet Nam, but these self-serving Swiftboat hypocrites concentrate on a decorated combat veteran, a veteran defended by fellow combat veterans Republican Senators McCain and Warner, and never on draf dodger Bush. Why are these Swifboat Republicans concentrating on a draft dodger who used his well connect dad to avoid going to Viet Nam? Because they are paid by Bush's Republican buddies in Houston.
