You said you'd get to the other points later. I didn't know you were waiting for my response...


Here is why I find Kerry's war history offensive:

1) pre-war: he was already known to be 'anti-war' and against US policy on communism.

2) pre-war: he and his skull and bones yale buddies all decided that they needed to go to war to acheive their political goals

3) pre-war: kerry had clear plans to enter politics and knew the war was part of that agenda

4) kerry knew he was likely to be drafted, so he offered to volunteer if he could play an officer (fits political aspirations)

5) kerry received 3 purple hearts in less than 4 months and used that to get out of service

6) records show that his wounds were superficial and only needed band aids.

more tomorrow, I gotta go. Read the link I posted on the other thread to see where most of the items above can be verified...
