Reading the above article, it becomes clear that ustwo is twisting the evidence to suit his needs. Kerry's serice isn't in question by anything I've read or heard. That article above--it points to the fact that Kerry referred to other people's testimony in another investigation.
How is stating "I've come back from doing things I was ashamed of and I've heard from many service people that they've done terrible things" lying to Congress?
If you walk around and think in your head that Kerry claimed every service person was cutting ears off villagers based on the above attributions, the fault lies in your conclusions, not his statements.
and BTW, Kerry isn't using his Vietnam experience as something to be proud of, as the writer of this last article implies. He's using it as an example that he's been in a nasty war, has seen war's horrors, and won't place our nation's young men in harm's way unless it's for a just cause. Reasonable people can disagree as to what constitutes a just cause and whether Bush believes the same way, but this isn't the case of someone who once was ashamed of his actions and is now acting like they were heroic deeds.
