Yeah, PP, I'll give ya that. Of course the Bush/Hitler thing was ripe with sarcasm and not meant to be taken seriously.

I have faith that Kerry would not have supported Fonda's ideals after I heard McCain and Dole comment on Kerry's patriotism. Two disabled veterans from the opposite party that have tremendous credibility to me.

RA3 - I agree what's in the past is past. Men change a lot in 30 years; their values, ideals, goals, etc. But I'll tell you something about military reports; everyone walks on water. I've seen evaluations done on guys that didn't have a pot to piss in, yet you'd think they were a god by the way it was written. And I don't believe it was Kerry's CO's that are being critical, I believe it is other officers of that time period that are being critical of the evaluations and awards he received. Could be nothing more than sour grapes or partisan arguments.

I wasn't there, so I don't know. But, unless the critics were there next to him on that boat when he received his wounds, then they shouldn't question the medical records or the CO's evaluations.
