I too came home from Vietnam and voiced my opinion against the War i had just returned from. It was an awful waste of money and lives. The government would not allow the service's to perform their assigned tasks correctly, wouldn't let us finish the job.
Since his return, Kerry has maneuvered himself to take advantage of his militery carreer, while voicing disdain for those he served with. I consider this to be two faced and believe him not to be of presidential character. I will say also, Bush is not the greatest of choices, but i would vote for Bush before Kerry.

How has he voiced disdain for those he served with? Every one of his crewmates from his gunboat have either endorsed or is actively campaigning for him. Or do you mean in the more general sense? Either way, where is the disdain? To my knowledge, Kerry has shown nothing but the utmost respect for fellow servicemen and -women.
