When I pasted the article the section break titles looked like regular text.  I should have bolded them, but instead chose to re-type them in all-cap.  I am a lousy speller (not as bad as HiTech...but close)

If you doubt that it is a real Chicago Trib article, you are welcome to go eat some crow...the registration is free to see the article on the posted website.

Go get yourself a set and come back and tell us how easy it was.

Was it here that I read that there's an investigation underway about Bush wearing medals he didn't earn? Mebbe somewhere else.... I just scanned it real quick.

The entire thing would be just so dumb, if it weren't so sad. And by sad I mean sad and pathetic.

please list ANY other swift boat vet that got the numbers of citations/medals/ribbons herman did in the same amount of time (that is 4 out of the normal 12 months, that is 1/3 for you dumbacrats :)) and then skipped out of country

somehow I'd be able to swallow his bullSHeeT if he were not the ONLY one to have accomplished this superhuman feat....

The guy became a United States senator for 20 years and is now a candidate for president of the United States.

How many senators has this country had?  How many major party candidates for president?  Obviously Kerry was and is not a "normal" guy by whatever definition we use there.  The whole military angle is silly.  I doubt Kerry's going to win many votes with it, and I doubt the Republicans are going to lose many because of it.  By election time, the whole Swift Boat Veterans for Truth fiasco will likely be a distant memory.  And good riddance.

I kinda think it was important for Kerry to stress his military career. Just because of the times.

Picture Kerry without it. I'm picturing him getting boxed a la Dukakis.

Thars no way to know how many votes are going to be gained by it, but I'm sure it leaves a significant imprint, that, however subconsciouse or unquantifiable, is reflected in people's view of Kerry and his positions on the whole.

Yes, to use his 4 month "military record" is retarded at best .. so why is he doing it?

Yes, he has been a Senator for 20 years, why is he not pulling any rabbits out of that hat? maybe cause they are all dead...

but since he is the "war hero" of the dems, running on his 4 month nam tour instead of his 20 years in politics...

 Was there another swift boat vet or any vet in Nam that was able to accomplish what skerry did in 4 months and live to tell about it...just wondering

maybe he does have a huge red "S" on his chest - LOL
