103. I respect them
but don't share the men in uniform worship that Kerry is hoping to tap into. I wish he'd give people more credit for intelligence than pulling the same cheap crap that * loves so much.
I can also respect denouncing an unjust war. It is reliving the glory of being a soldier after denouncing that confuses me. The men I know who have denounced aren't real excited to relive it. I'm really disappointed to see him exploiting it this way. After serving as a voice that offered more legitimacy to conscientious objectors, he is now detracting from that. This seems to be a retreat from that.
It's one thing for him to be proud to have done his patriotic duty, another to exploit what he previously denounced for political reasons.
