I think those of us who weren't in combat at some point in our lives have little to say/judge about those that were. Who am I to say he doesn't deserve a medal? The guy went over there and risked his life, period.

He got off the plane, and went into the firestorm, whether he wanted to or not. Some of our current leaders need to be reminded of their deferments, there seeming inability to be drafted, and sent to war.

Personally, I think it's a damn shame when a man who didn't go fight for his country, for whatever reason, to point the finger at the man who did. Such people should try to remember that nobody in a right state of mind actually likes war, and should be appreciative of the risks and sacrifices that those who have fought for us have made.

Personally, I don't particularly trust Bush or Kerry, or anyone else in Washington, as they're almost all too heavily influenced by special interests groups to be of much service to those non-special interest constituents who voted for them.

But I'll be damned if I agree with people who have the nerve to judge someone who made the trip, something a lot of people, like myself didn't do. Be careful calling someone a ******* when you don't have the record to prove that you're not!

Where is Perot when we need him?
