20. There is a difference between Clark and Kerry's uniform.....
Although I agree that they do share the fact that they were both heroic, have experienced battles, and both were wounded...but it really does end there.....

Kerry in Uniform never planned and led a successful war...in fact, the last one we fought just a short six years ago.

Kerry's uniform is 35 years old. That made a difference on how the facts were able to be twisted much more easily, without any current evidence.....as it was the word against one vs. the words against another in a memory lane.

You see, apart from having the same medals that Kerry had from 35 years ago.....Clark has a slew of NEW medals given to him from just about every country in Europe, as well as other parts of the world....all bestowed very recently....like six years ago. Is someone gonna say that 19 countries made a mistake in handing him those medals? Really....each one?

The man's been knighted, and has the Medal of Freedom Award for his work in Kosovo.

Clark and Kerry's military experience is just not the same at all.

Kerry's advantage was that he went to Iowa.....and that he had domestic experience...so he was perceived as most electable.
