Okay, I spent the day with my (much) elder brother, who is a Viet Nam veteran.

*Kerry was the founder of the Viet Nam Veterans Against the War. Most of the men returning from Viet Nam were against the war.

*Kerry has admitted that he invented several of the veteran's stories concerning supposed atrocities committed by Viet Nam Veterans. This is not to say that atrocities were not committed; but most people consider plagiarism a crime. Remember Jayson Blair?

*Most Viet Nam Veterans who received a Purple Heart were laid up for more than a day. In fact, a goodly portion received them posthumously.

*Kerry was with a group of Viet Nam Vets who protested by throwing away their medals. Kerry threw only his ribbons; the rest threw away their medals. I believe that's called hypocracy.

This is just the tip of the iceberg. I haven't trusted this snake oil salesman for years - the day he married Teresa Heinz, I quit buying Heinz products!
