As more information comes out, particularly from other veterans, Kerry ("Boston Strangler") is not looking like he was all that stable in Vietnam. He had plenty of company, I'm sure, but if I were him, I wouldn't be putting it in bold type at the very top of my resume.

Besides, the raw hypocrisy of making combat service a prime criteria for being President is still pretty obvious.

Who did you vote for in 1996?

And yes, the modern Democratic Party, which is pretty much run by the American Left now, has hated the military's guts for years. Carter was probably the last Democratic president (or candidate) with even moderate respect for the armed might of the United States.

And they haven't concealed it all that well, either. The military knew damn well how the Clintons felt about them. My brother and others I know could tell you a lot about this.
