PM,

I think that you have hit right on the point of what Kerry did that pissed all of these vets off. If you listen to his testimony, he lists off these different incidents and then states that these were not isolated incidents, but were rather the norm. Instead of telling of the horrors of war, he threw a blanket of disgrace over ALL vets. I think that this is why he's getting flamed so hard right now by these guys.

I think that I've said it before, but I'll say it again. John Kerry stepped on a land mine when he put his war record up as the foundation for his campaign. He is now trying to shift the dialog to pertinent issues of today, which is a welcome sentiment. The problem for him with doing that is that it will reopen the flip-flop dialog and his extremely liberal voting record dialog. This should make for an interesting few weeks up to the election.
