That's because you have absolutely no definition of respect, loyalty, courage, or any idea of commitment. I don't like John Kerry's policies, and I don't have a positive view of the Vietnam War, but his service there is something to be extremely proud of. You wouldn't know anything about that, however.
I am against the Iraq War, but in 30 years, if any of the soldiers runs for public office, I would look at service as a plus in times of war, because if we have a war time like Bush says, I think it is better to have someone who has served in war, because they know war, and can relate to the soldiers. The soldiers need someone who would lead them into another Vietnam. Vietnam was a war that we fought for the south, but in the end we lost. I don't see myself agreeing with it back in the 60's, but I don't hold that against the soldiers, in fact I hold that as a plus because the soldiers were willing to put their lives on the line for our country, like my father, and that is something have shown I am not willing to do, so it should matter if a person who runs does such a thing. Someone like Clinton, and Bush, yeah, they won elections, but in time of war, military time I think is very important.
Although i'm honestly tired of hearing about his war record, he does have a honorable record. Granted getting purple hearts is pointless, the stars are worth recieving. On the other hand, i dont think you should base a vote by how he served during war. Clinton was an example that you shouldnt base your vote on their military record (bush for that fact).I wouldnt go far in saying the vietnam war was morally wrong, but it was a lost cause. The north eventually took over the south when we pulled out anyway.

As a Christian, how can you "hold it as a plus" the killing of the North Vietnamese, considering they had never attacked or done anything to any American's? Are you saying you put the flag of your country above the Cross?
