| 72. Considering that Sen. Kerry has about 20 more years experience on matters such as these |
|
and is a highly decorated veteran along with his powerful stand against the Vietnam War, I consider him an expert with a respected opinion on this matter. I know he does not take war lightly and his view has been carefully thought out. Some people will never accept anything or consider anything but there own narrow point of view, so when they post negatively against Kerry, I just consider them to be pigheaded.
