Protecting the good of the people of this nation is more important than protecting a corrupt administration.
Do these anti-Kerry people honestly think it would have been better if everyone just shut up and pretended everything in Vietnam was going great? I doubt it ... but ... that's what they want us to do now about Iraq .. so, I dunno, maybe protecting a fantasy is more imporant to them than facing real problems.

I don't mind whistle blowing, as a matter of fact, I respect whistle blowers. What I do mind and don't respect are "whistle blowers" who make shit up to make a name for themselves. John Kerry's testimony was bullshit and there are a few logical questions and points that simple, socratic and easily lead one to that conclusion.
John Kerry said he witnessed many of the described attrocites. If so, then as an officer he is obligated to try to stop said attrocities and report them. He testified that he did neither. Therefore he is either a liar or a war criminal. If he is a war criminal, then why wasn't he ever punished under the UCMJ as other war criminals were? Why is there no record of him reporting these war crimes
before his testimony? Why did he wait until he was a civilian (and still wearing his uniform at opportune times, with ribbons and medals strategically and improperly placed)?
Conclusion: the guy was establishing himself for a future political career.
Further evidence of this conclusion: John Kerry has NEVER held a job in the private sector. He has always worked for the government and financially gotten by as a rich kid and married to rich women.
