Source: Served in the Marines, Vietnam, Drill Instructor at Parris Island, Received honorable discharge from Marines. Why bad mouth a war hero?

People who support Bush blindly rarely look at the military records of others--let's face it, a Marine officer with Purple Hearts who served honorably in Viet Nam makes Bush's National Guard service look a bit paltry.
What is ironic is that these same people say they "support the troops" but condemn Murtha's great idea to require that troops be properly trained and equipped before being sent to Iraq. It makes one wonder just what kind of support they would give the troops.

Just because someone is a "war hero" does not mean you can not bad mouth him. Look at Duke Randy Cunningham, now in prison. Can we not say anything bad about him? He is by far a greater war hero than Kerry. Cunningham was the FIRST fighter ace of the Vietnam war. He was the FIRST missile ace ever. He was shot down and rescued. He shot down the #1 North Vietnamese ace. And he is a crook. Just because someone is a war hero does not mean you can not speak bad about them..
And by the way, KERRY deserted his post and got a medal for it. Must be nice to be a close personal friend to Teddy when in the Navy.

To have served in the military does not make one a war HERO. Besides, even if he had been a war hero, he is not on the same side as I am politically so I reserve the right to disagree with him and any other left wing fanatic. What would YOU do about McCain, who, in my opinion, was a true war HERO. Do you disagree with him? Since he was a war hero and if he gets the Republican nomination and runs for president, I expect all you left wingers to vote for him.

Apparantly Bush, Cheney and wolfowitz - three guys who never served have some secret insight to the military that military personel lack.
Most likely that guy celtic pride above also never served but has the secret insight. If only 1978 Kerry had been the one running in 04'.
Because 2004 Kerry was a tree-faced burnt out professional politician who wasn't selling anything the American public wanted.

Probably for the same reasons many war opponents talk bad about war hero John McCain. (someone for whom the title "hero" is a much better fit )

Because he was quoted as saying that what the dems would do is "bleed the military dry" with limited funding. By also hamstringing them at every turn. Also, he was busted accepting a bribe about 20 years ago. He was not indicted because he sold out some of his buddies in a plea agreement.

guy, each and every physique can get medals. It takes a undeniable form of yank who gets the backside achieveable score on the pilots examination (25) to get into the ANG or a actual guy to get 5 (or became it extra) deferments throughout a conflict. what proportion destiny conservative presidents and vice presidents is this conflict interior the approach of transforming into? God bless u.s. and bypass the chicken-hawk conservatives.

He doesn't give the answers they want to hear!!
Even our own military leaders now are telling Bush we aren't sufficiently supplied to handle any future military interests.
