Huh? I thought he was a Vietnam vet. In fact, he was a lieutenant,
right?
Which means that he ordered men into combat...and some of those men did
not
make it back. That makes him no different from the
Commander-in-Chief...except that he had control over fewer men.

Are you really saying that, as a lieutenant, Kerry had the power to
order a premptive war on another country? I did not know!
Kerry was doing his duty in Vietnam, following orders. Nothing more,
nothing less.

As a Lieutenant, Kerry had the authority to use info supplied to him by
military intel in order to make on the spot decisions that may have risked
the life of the men under his control. Not much different from Bush, eh?


One minor difference: Bush has the authority to ask lots of questions,
ask for more data, tell his advisors to take a hike...Bush has options a
lieutenant can't even dream of.

All that...and Bush made the wrong choices.
