4 months, 14 months 24 months....who cares. What does it have to do with
Kerry being fit to be POTUS?

How about his 240 months in the senate? Why is this not more important?

Ask your strategists. They chose, at the highest levels, (I did hear that
Bush's attorney had to step down due to conflict of interest when he was
serving as legal advisor to the Swift Boat crew), to attack Kerry' record in
Viet Nam moreso than his record in the Senate.
