Brucie:

Two whole sentences that time. You are getting better.

"In the middle of his senior year, Kerry applied for post-grad deferment to study in Paris. It was denied.

Kerry enlisted in the U.S. Navy Reserve, "Inactive Duty" in Feb of his senior year. Note - not the USN. The USNR.

Both Bush and Kerry were reservists. This point is made only because the Kerry camp is denigrating Bush's ANG service."

Kerry got called up and Bush did not. That makes Bush a coward and Kerry a hero.

Kerry's Genghis Kahn testimony was played over and over in NV prison camps, furthering Kerry's hero status.

Returning Veterans are spat upon and labeled war criminals by the general public due to Kerry's and Jane Fonda's efforts. That took real courage.

Any Vietnam Veteran who does not like Kerry and speaks out is labeled a lying Bush supporter even though they greatly outnumber the Vets for Kerry. This alone dishonors them for thier service to our country and denies them their first amendment rights.
