Kerry's medical records: still not released to the public

[honeychile]

I've been trying to avoid this thread, mostly because I feel that after ANY election, it's more important to pull together than keeping destroying each other. Should I repeat that, or did it sink through?

Kerry's war history is not my concern at this time. What does bother me is that he testified in front of Congress and lied. He called himself and all the others who served in Viet Nam "rapists, baby killers" and something about the worst plunderers since Ghengis Khan.

Senator Kerry, when you defamed the Americans who served in Viet Nam, you lied about my brother. You lied about his friends, you lied about hundreds of thousands of good, decent men, many of whom did not live to protest your base portrayal. You did not have the right to lie about these men, and should never have the chance to be Commander In Chief of any military man! I will remember your lies next week, as I'm visiting the very momument to those you disparage.

Now, about President Bush: I'm 100% sure that having had relatives matriculate at Yale helped his chances of acceptance there. But what are the odds of staying in an Ivy League School, if you don't make the grades? This was a time when staying in school meant staying out of the service; while many professors were more than happy to inflate grades to help out students, many more were happy to flunk men for the same reason.

That's my 2¢ - take it or leave it. I don't plan to check this thread to see how people who know little about the situation pontificate on my views. Frankly, DeltAlum is one of the few people with whom I would calmly discuss this, as he is a contemporary of my brother and most other Viet Nam veterans.
