Unless you can actually connect the word "bribe" to those veterans, you might want to stop using it.
You have a tendency to throw inaccurate insults around.
Question for consideration: Of the two organized groups of veterans, one group supporting Kerry and the other not, which one has been flown around the country at someone else's expense, put up in fancy hotels, and was hauled away from dangerous duty in Vietnam by John Kerry? Just asking.
Boston Globe:
Kerry's early departure meant that he was leaving behind a crew that had suffered through many bloody battles with him. Worried that crew members would be killed, he arranged for them to receive a safer assignment. When one crew member, Medeiros, tried to stay, Kerry "came and talked to me and said, `I really would like you to go. ... I'd like to know you are safe, or safer."'
