Kerry volunteered to go to Nam as a rich kid, he volunteered for swift boat duty, he jumped off the boat and chased and killed the enemy that was shooting at him and fellow soldiers. he is a certified war hero, I stand by my statement - anyone trying to say he aint a war hero is a cunt, anyone.
Again, I disagree with almost every political position Mccain takes but im adult enough to see that he is a war hero. I stand up for Mccains war reputatation just like I do for Kerrys. If more Americans could stop being a cunt like Trump then we would all be better off.
Rumors of no scars on Kerrys body??? So that's the standard now? Some people have no standards, no integrity and no class.

His own people said that he killed civilians by mistake, dramaticized his "injuries" to get his Purple Hearts, and as soon as he had enough PHs...he bailed on his crew for an assignment in New York City. Sounds like quite a guy...and a "hero" to me.
Compare to someone like Chris Kyle who volunteered for hazardous duty, extended his time in the field, returned to combat duty after having done his time, and did he job well.
Maybe we can look at another "hero". He volunteered for hazardous duty during wartime. After completing his training, this hero volunteered for more hazardous duty. He was shot down during one mission. He was rescued from the open ocean by a submarine. He recieved the Navy Flying Cross for his actions. He served for the duration of that war. He rarely mentions his experiences at war. His name is George H. W. Bush and he was beaten in the election by a lying draft dodger who tried to slander his wartime record.
By the way, Kerry did not volunteer for Vietnam. It doesn't work that way. You can put in for a ship or a situation. Either can put you in harm's way but there is no guarantee. He did volunteer to leave the Gridley which was off the coast of Vietnam for small boat duty. So he volunteered for that. Of course, he said himself that swift boats were not really involved in the war heavily until that point. Poor choice on his part. Then again, he claimed to be in Cambodia during Christmas of 1968 by order of Richard Nixon....except that Nixon was only the president-elect and didn't order anyone to do anything and according to records Kerry's boat was not in Cambodia but was several miles away. Just another liar.
