who gives a shit about their Vietnam service? Neither was issued a dishonorable discharge; it's total smokescreen to let them both ignore dealing with the issues.
Here is a fact: Bush administration told the US people that Iraq and Saddam had WMDs and were a serious and immediate threat. They also said there were ties between Iraq and Al Queda.
These statements were all false. The president may or may not told lies willfully; but the fact remains that the stated reasons for war have all been shown to be false.
The US people really deserve better than "we'll just say we did it for freedom and liberation now and mention something about staying the course and fighting terrorism. They're too stupid to stay on topic anyway." which is what we've gotten from this administration.
Here's another fact: John Kerry has provided absolutely no concrete plan for Iraq, for healthcare, for social security, for outsourcing, or for ANYTHING he's pushing. He's just making promises to get elected. We should believe France and Germany are going to help us out in Iraq if Kerry's elected? Their leaders have both said publicly that they won't.
Here's an observation: Neither side wants to deal with the obvious (and huge) issue of the deficit. Kerry wants to spend more money and says we need more troops. Bush wants to make current tax cuts permanent and put increasingly large numbers of people on govt payroll. No matter who's elected, this means increased deficits or tax hikes.
