That is perhaps one of the greatest reasons why Bush would be a far
superior
CiC compared with Kerry, who has been uniformly disrespectful of other
servicemen, virtually from the time he set foot back in the US after his
"tour of duty" in Vietnam.

No Max, he was critical of a Govt that placed it's military in a
situation where they were ordered to use methods that guaranteed
extremely high civilian casualties and praised those who killed the
most.

Wrong. He impugned the troops for purported atrocities (Winter Soldier),
some of which were accurate, many of which weren't. You are correct in that
he maligned the military hierarchy and the government for the methods you
describe, but he also maligned the troops themselves, and that is not
something one who wishes to be CiC should ever do.

Question: what percentage of the personnel in the US military will respect
Commander in Chief Kerry? Clinton was despised by over 90% of them; Kerry
will be equally despised, or moreso.
