5. he volunteered to go to Vietnam
Edited on Mon Aug-23-04 12:38 PM by LSK
He saw combat action. He was wounded. He received metals. He saw what Vietnam was about and did what he had every right to do after getting the 3rd purple heart, he left. He came home and told about what a mess Vietnam was and that is was a wrong war. Something at least half the country agreed with at the time.

If nothing else, Kerry volunteered to go and he actually saw combat. He could have easily been killed. He was in the line of fire.

Nobody has a right to dispute this. And that is all that should matter.
