Are you suggesting that a patriot would have served more than four months?
How many months did GWB serve?
Are you nuts, Loco?

I don't know what length of time spent in Nam qualifies one to be a patriot
but I don't know anyone who went to Nam and left in 4 months except Kerry or
dead soldiers.

So, what you're saying is that you either have very limited direct
experience with VN vets or that you think someone who is wounded three
times, who commands troops in action, who is awarded a bronze and a
silver, and who has the option of leaving, should stay or be declared
unpatriotic.

Bush served his time.

No. He didn't have to spend much time at all in the drunk tank.

Face it a lot of people of means got out of serving in Viet Nam but it took a
person of real means to go over there grab a few medals and get out in 4
months. Kerry is a phony in more ways than one.

Unlike Bush who got his buddies to give him a free pass on actually
finishing his duties under NG service. But, even they couldn't get his
extra 6 mos of duties removed from his record because he failed to
complete his original obligation.
