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.

blah blah blah. what a lovely story
here's how it really is. he went to war, was a hero, came home and exposed injustices going on in vietnam, threw away his medals, or where they his friends? now he campaigns on being a great war hero and looks for ever photo op possible with vets. you give him a pass because you want him to win which is bullshit. thats like a ex nazi gestapo talking about the killings jews and then running on the platform "i killed for hitler and im a hero". vietnam isnt something to protest against because its popular, and then something to be proud of when its election time.
