One link for every of the 9.  With this being a democratic Republic, we'll let the majority decide.

I'm less concerned with his short military career than I am with his anti-war protesting days.  By the sound of it, most of you either were born after the VN war, or are too young to remember Kerry back then.  For us who who remember, your view on this issue would be much different, if not at least less-dismissive of the topic.  He and his friends made life hell for those fighting.  And for us, who either were there, or had friends/family there, he was no better than the VC themselves.  So please, don't even try to dismiss this as "right wing" attacks.  He brought it upon himself the day he signed up with the VVAW.

So apparentely MODU thinks no one should've ever said anything wrong about Vietnam and just let that travesty continue instead of like Kerry try to bring an end to the war and bring them home.

I'm sure plenty of people here who know people in Iraq have no problems with anti-Iraq war protestors.

If Vietnam was wrong, protesting it was right.

Ummm, no, I have no problem with debating the decision to go to war.  I have a problem with Kerry endangering the lives of us, our familes, and friends who were in VN at the time with his deceitful remarks and activites when he returned early from the theater.  This is what most VN vets feel towards Kerry.

I don't see the difference between protesting and "debating", Kerry was just saying the war was wrong and needed to be ended. And I don't see how he endangered anyone. I think soldiers overseas have far bigger threats to them than some protestors in America.

There's a difference compared to Kerry's actions.  You might want to read up on his movement and how the changed the perception of our troops during that time, and how the VC were using his words against our POW's and to validate their actions against the US troops.  This is what the latest generation seems to not learn in school these days since it's not "politically correct."
