He only served for 4 months. Not enough to measure a mans worth.


A man who landed om Omaha and fought his way through and only spent a week in
combat has proven himselfvery well. A man who fought the battle of the Hurtgen
Forest for only a month has proven himself very well. A man who fought in the
defence of Bastogne for only a month has proven himself very well. Bush has
proven nothing except his ability to disppear. Cheney has proven himself not
just a coward, buit a dirty mouthed coward.

Odd that you should mention those three battles--each and every one of them
had Guardsmen contributing directly and bloodily to the outcome. You know,
those same Guardsmen who *you* said were sitting back at their armories at
the time?

You've almost got an analogy there, except the guy in Hurtgen, Omaha Beach,
and Bastogne didn't volunteer to return home. They stood and fought.

Many came home as a result of their wounds. I suggest you visit your local VA
hospital for an education in combat. If you have the stomach for it. At
Bastogne the defensae was led by the mighty 101st Airborne, at Omaha Beach the
powerful big red one led the charge. In the Hurtgen forest it was a
combination of:
22nd Infantry,· 4th Division,· VII Corps· XV Corps and 5th Armored Division

Some of these units at Hurgten were not too well trained ( National Guard,
Reserve) causing large casualties, But they did prevail in the end.So Kerry's
4 months was a lot more combat time than many of those above ever were in
combat.

That's four month MORE in combat than Bush or Cheney.

Offhand, I think Bush and Cheney took the smarter approach and
Kerry was foolish and naive but learned what Sherman had said
about glory being moonshine and nonsense, what we would call
today, bull**** and lies.

I am quite confident that they are all three quite different
men today than they were then, in part because of their experiences
then. Kerry learned what it was like for those sent into combat
while Cheney and Bush learned what it was like for those who
were not.

Not that it matters. I hope that most people do not need to
experience combat themselves to understand the consequences of
war.

It's not working. The lies are easy to see through. Nobody is buying that
neocon crap. Bush and Chaney are just attacking him to cover up their
failure to serve their country as he did.


Bush and Cheney have served their country and are still serving it.
