Was Cambodia "seared, seared" into his memory? I don't question his medals accept for the Silver star with Combat V. It has never existed. It is redundant. Alot of truly brav emen served their whole tours and went back recieving for more injury the Kerry ever did. He was there 4 months. He only enlisted in the Navy after his two attempts at deferments were turned down as to prevent himself from being drafted into the Army. The "volunteered" statement is a bit disengenuous. I have nbo doubt that he acted with valor at times in Vietnam. I have real problems with his anti sercurity stances since he was elected.The pacifist doesn't survive long in the real world. I am not willing to risk my kids futures on a guy who's world view is one of idealism and not realism.
