That GWB & Cheney, neither of whom served in Viet Nam

Can question Kerry, who requested service in Viet Nam, and served with
honor.

How did you reach the conclusion that criticism of Kerry by GWB & Cheney
has anything to do with Kerry's military service?

Plus, the text string "Kerry" doesn't appear anywhere in the links you
provided.

Although there has been plenty of administration criticism of Kerry's
congressional record (which is fair game), I don't recall the
administration criticizing his military service.

I have noticed, however, that whenever Kerry finds himself painted in a
corner on some topics that are totally unrelated to his military service,
he has tried on occasion to spin it into an attack on his military service
somehow in order to deflect attention from the original question. Perhaps
Kerry should stop bringing it up?

Kerry served in the military, just like any number of others have before,
during and since. But that service does not grant him immunity from
criticism of his pre and post service activities, nor should it muffle
anyone else's freedom of speech to express opinions about Kerry.

Nicely stated JD.
