TOM: "And you might want to rephrase that a bit, unless it's your contention that Guardsmen or military personnel who don't see combat aren't really serving the nation."
MY REPLY: Its not. My point is that George Bush served in the reserves safely stateside, while John Kerry ricked his life facing real bullets. The Republican funded swiftboatvets are attempting to portray the impression that he didn't.
TOM: "This is a character issue, and since Kerry has put all his character eggs in the Vietnam basket, this is where it's being focused."
MY REPLY: The accounts of John Kerry's valorous service are a matter of public record - one which has existed for decades. Those Republican funded hacks hired to publically question it have no such records to back their claims up - its vaporware. This is about character assassination for political purposes and little else.
