700, If you really believe your post and attatched pic, not even considering whether you like or dislike Bush,which you dont. Kerrys' military record was a preplanned stunt for his eventual move to politics. As soon as he arrived home, he is at congressional hearings lying about our boys still in country getting killed, while he removed his bandaid from his pinky finger!!!!! This is the difference DUDE! REAL MEN, REAL military service???? MEN like true heros, Oliver North, TURNED DOWN purple hearts so they would not be shipped stateside!!! Draft dodger???? Your buddy Clinton, the true unionists' friend who was against NAFTA,GATT, WTO, oh wait a minute.......... left a paper trail worming his way out of the draft. This is exactly what I mean when I talk about "steel mill" mentality unionism. You let FACTS cloud your judment all because of your pure hatred of republicans. I wont change any minds, but I let off some steam!!700UW said:

The man went to combat and fought.
Your man dodged the draft and then no one ever saw him in AL.
See I guess you could not defend your man so you attacked mine.

Kerry's Vietnam Doc: Wound Accidentally Self-Inflicted
The Navy medic who treated Sen. John Kerry after he sustained his first battlefield wound in Vietnam said Tuesday that he thought that the injury had been inadvertently self-inflicted - raising new questions about why Kerry sought a Purple Heart after the incident.
Contacted by National Review Online, Dr. Louis Letson recalled that Kerry insisted during treatment that he was injured by enemy fire while his swift boat was patrolling the Mekong Delta on Dec. 2, 1968.
However, "some of his crew confided that they did not receive any fire from shore," the Navy doc told NRO.
Instead, his crewmen claimed that Kerry "had fired a mortar round at close range to some rocks on shore."
One crewman told Letson that he thought Kerry's injury "was caused by a fragment ricocheting from that mortar round when it struck the rocks."
Concluded Letson, "That seemed to fit the injury which I treated."
He described the top Democrat's wound as "a small piece of metal sticking very superficially in the skin of Kerry's arm.
"The metal fragment measured about 1 cm. in length and was about 2 or 3 mm in diameter. It certainly did not look like a round from a rifle."
Letson recalled that he "simply removed the piece of metal by lifting it out of the skin with forceps.
"I doubt that it penetrated more than 3 or 4 mm. It did not require probing to find it, did not require any anesthesia to remove it, and did not require any sutures to close the wound.
"The wound was covered with a bandaid," Dr. Letson said.
Based on the bandaid wound that was likely a result of a mortar round he fired, Kerry sought and eventually received his first Purple Heart.

Yes, they were.PineyBob said:
Actually, they have a great deal to do with it. People who got out of going, for whatever reason (save for a high lottery number), did so because they believed their own lives were more important than the others who did not go. It was selfishness, and nothing more.
What does this have to do with leading the US? Someone whose every move smacks of privilege and selfishness will do exactly as Bush has done: do everything within his power to transfer wealth to him and his cronies.
