re: Kerry's military is record up for grabs
Tony — (archived)

1. This is true:
Kerry has made his Vietnam service his main topic for presidency, therefore he made it open for investigation and criticism.

Everybody else is caught up in the scrutiny.


2. This sounds made up:
I heard on the radio that on of those guys who showed up in Boston with him was a volunter and they rest where paid.


3. This is just partisanship:
Interesting that Kerry won't release *all* of his military personal records which should help his status if favorable.

What's missing?
Has Bush released "*all*" of his military personal records?

Let's play what-if Steve.
Let's pretend that in 2012, Evs Set is running for local rat catcher (R) in your town. To vouch for his credibility and demonstrate that he was willing to sacrifice everything for the common good, he proudly announces that he got 6 purple Hearts, a Congressional Medal of Honor, Six Gold Stars and a "Very Good. See me later" from his teacher, during Gulf War 2.
His opponent, I M Slimy, a democrat, starts spreading rumours that Evs only had a hangnail for the first Purple heart, a paper cut for the second and 4 cases of hemorrhoids for the other 4.
People start to come forward - Mot Zrobs sez that Evs saved his life, but Ynot sez the Evs is a lying no good dirty scumbag who still has piles. "Evidence" accumulates on all sides, medical records are not released.

Which group you siding with here? You gonna pounce on the guy that is denigrating the vet?
And can you honestly say that it is not going to make a difference if the parties are reversed?
