11. You're wrong.
If you feel this way don't support Kerry, he would rather not have your vote. Some kid from Briar Patch, bullets flying all around, doesn't get to decide if the war he is in has a purpose. He can't even decide if he lives or dies. They are serving their country, it is the country that is not serving them.
