Kerry was - and is - no traitor. If anything he's the bigger man than Bush for at least learning the truth about war. . . that it sucks, it's hell and it should be a LAST (not first) resort for settling disputes internationally.
Perhaps if our current Buffoon-in-Chief had actually done meaningful service himself instead of skirting reporting duties in the National Guard, he'd have learned that lesson himself and maybe thousands of innocent lives could have been spared years later. . . Speculation, but food for thought nonetheless.
And of course there are those among us that don't NEED to serve in the military to know war is an evil thing - not something to be embraced and talked up like a football coach's pre-game rally speech. And on the other hand there are those that will rave about how great war and the military and tanks and bombs and guns are no matter what. . .

If Kerry had said that we should have backed Ho Chi Minh in 1919(and supported the independence and self rule of Vietnam like Wilson's 14 points said we should, rather than let the French totally hijoack the peace process) BEFORE he had to turn to the new Soviet Union,only people that would listen to him, or maybe in 1945, then i would have been ok with that. What he did was apparently lie and distort facts about his fellow soldiers and sailors purely to get himself elected. As for war being evil, so be it. But should we have stayed out of WW2? I'm sure Pat wouldn't have minded Hitler getting the other 4 or so million European Jews that he managed to miss the first go around. you know.....no surviving Eurpean Jews, no evil, terroist Israel today......yea!!!!!! You okay with that? so how do YOU propose we deal with these people who want to kill us not because of where we are, what we have and who is in office, but because we repesent the social, political and religious philospophies that they see as the greatest hinderance to to establishment of a worldwide Islamic caliphate made in the image of guys like the Ayatollah Rudollah Khomeini or Usama Bin Laden or any number of nutbag Wahabi Imams on the Sunni side of the aisle.
