True, the military has always had its fair share of dinks, idiots, ne-er-do-wells, psychopaths, and bigots. Yet, to try to portray such individuals as being typical of the average American soldier is despicable.
The men and women who have volunteered to lay their lives on the line for their country are the finest examples of humanity that our country has to offer, regardless of their race, color, creed, or political orientation. I say without fear of contradiction, that their conduct toward the citizens of an occupied country is at least as good as, if not better than, that of any other nation in the world.
Any unseemly conduct is an aberration....period.
As to Kerry, I have no doubt that he served his country about as well as any average GI did in Vietnam. Whether he deserved the accolades heaped upon him by his backers, or by himself, is a matter of public debate and conjecture....which will never be completely settled until his records are finally released.
