And now for something fun for you kids out there

According to Broder, early on Kerry was seemingly naive about what he'd encounter if he used his Vietnam experience in his campaign:

When he chose to make his Navy combat in Vietnam the principal metaphor for his dedication to public service and the proof of his toughness in a time of terrorism, he might have guessed that the skeptics would not remain silent. In a 2002 conversation, Kerry told me he thought it would be doubly advantageous that "I fought in Vietnam and I also fought against the Vietnam War," apparently not recognizing that some would see far too much political calculation in such a bifurcated record


So Kerry didn't get people would be against his war record, before they were for it.. or the other way around

The only thing that will save the country -- and end this breach in its leadership -- is that the boomers are now in their sixties. Another generation will eventually come to power, and the country will finally be spared from constantly refighting these same battles. .



I umm Guess i agree
