WHY DO VETERANS SUPPORT KERRY?
Maybe there's something about the camaraderie and shared experience that would lead veterans to support John Kerry. I keep hearing how they love him, and Democrats think it is so important to support someone who fought in Vietnam over someone who avoided the fighting to serve in the National Guard. I'm guessing these are the same Democrats who supported George H.W. Bush, who volunteered at 17 and fought in the Pacific, in 1992 and Bob Dole, who lost the use of his right arm in WWII, in 1996 over the military-loather-in-chief.

It's even harder for me to understand how Vietnam Veteran's can support John Kerry after he called them rapists and war criminals. Or when he equates National Guard service to fleeing to Canada or jail to avoid the war.

And now, there's a lovely picture of him with Hanoi Jane herself. Maybe veterans are getting to know the person now being called Hanoi John by Vietnam Veterans Against John Kerry.
