I don't know, Chinu. Now that Kerry and the media have revealed this "three Purple Hearts and you get to go home" technique, how are we going to keep anybody in the military? Our soldiers will be out there every day, trying to be heroic and get wounded! Heck, some of them may even have Presidential ambitions on hold for 35 years!

Here is what the mainstream media is saying If you say so. The Washington Post is mainstream now? The article is OK and has a point. I think Bush stated clearly the ads should stop and quite frankly I don't care about the dang ads, his service or his medals. I am 38, Vietnam and those who served there are the equivalent to me of those who served in WWII and Korea. I was too young for the wars to register on me one way or another. I was 7 or so when the war stopped. Not too muchinvolvement with current events there, man. I was raised in MO, so no big radical movements encroached on my upbringing. I see Kerry as an elitist snob who could give two craps about the common man. He wants to be President in order to support the special interests on his side of the aisle. He will have us serving under the UN banner inside 2 years. We will pay taxes to the UN and support the ICC and allow our troops to be prosecuted under UN rules instead of US rules. He will sell us out. The US Constitution will be put in a position lower than that of some UN document. He will have us further in debt than Bush, he will have guns banned. These are the things John F'n Kerry stands for and, God willing, he will never see the the inside the oval office in any role other than a guest. I will willingly leave your thread because just writing to you about him inspires nothing but negative feelings and doom and gloom when looking into the future of the US. I cannot carry on a decent discussion about this candidate because he has absolutely nothing to offer me. It starts with trust and I cannot trust him. Thanks for your hospitality, but I don't understand how you people can support him.
