Funny how four years ago John Kerry's status as a Vietnam veteran was smeared by the same Republicans who now want people to voted for John McCain because he's a Vietnam veteran.

Here's the big difference between John Kerry and John McCain. Kerry spent a few months in Vietnam, was wounded in the butt, and came home to lead a campaign to discredit American soldiers still fighting in the war. You remember the "baby killer" remarks he made? McCain spent 5+ years in a North Vietnamese jail and never badmouthed his fellow servicemen.

The fact remains that four years ago your side disrespected John Kerry's service in Vietnam, and now your side is telling we the people that we should vote for McCain because he's a Vietnam veteran. Furthermore, Kerry didn't badmouth his fellow veterans; he told the truth about things that he personally witnessed and that truth, unfortunately, wasn't very flattering to the military. If American servicemen are using my tax dollars to commit war crime, I have a right to know about it. My father, who served in Vietnam in the USMC, also spoke about some of the criminal things he witnessed American military personnel do; is he a traitor?

Finally, what gives you the right to pass judgement on Kerry's combat injuries? Did you serve in the military?
