[George Gervin's Afro]

Kerry was a war pussie.

I take the guy who showed uo as opposed to the guys who pussed out..

I suppose you don't have a bush quote to back up your claim...

Wasn't widely reported at the time because it didn't fit the Bush-bashing narrative the media was doling out.

The standard rap against Bush is that he was ducking combat by joining the Guard. Actually, the Texas Air Guard had a program called Palace Alert that allowed pilots to volunteer for flight time in Vietnam. Three of Bush's fellow pilots--Udell, Woodfin and Fred Bradley--recalled to NEWSWEEK that Bush inquired with the base commander about signing up for Palace Alert. He was told no; he had too few flying hours at the time and his plane, the F-102, was by then deemed obsolete for air combat.

...and a supposed kerry quote. where did you find the kerry quote? the national enquirer

Nicholas D. Krostof printed the quote in a September 2004 opinion piece in the New York Times:

Did Mr. Kerry volunteer for dangerous duty? Not as much as his campaign would like you to believe. The Kerry Web site declares, "As he was graduating from Yale, John Kerry volunteered to serve in Vietnam - because, as he later said, 'It was the right thing to do.' "

In fact, as Mr. Kerry was about to graduate from Yale, he was inquiring about getting an educational deferment to study in Europe. When that got nowhere, he volunteered for the Navy, which was much less likely to involve danger in Vietnam than other services. After a year on a ship in the ocean, Mr. Kerry volunteered for Swift boats, but at that time they were used only in Vietnam's coastal waters. A short time later, the Swift boats were assigned exceptionally dangerous duties up Vietnamese rivers. "When I signed up for the Swift boats, they had very little to do with the war,'' Mr. Kerry wrote in 1986, adding, "I didn't really want to get involved in the war."

ok ray if i can find a republican candidate(s) that did not answer specific yes or no questions would we then assume, according to you, that they won't answer hard questions?

Well guess we can eliminate GGA on trying to answer
any hard questions too. Come on GGA, quite playing
games and add something to the conversation for a
change.

I don't know where he found it, but I found several articles. Just a simple search...

Swift Boat Accounts Incomplete, part of article:

Boats Thrown Into Fight

When Kerry signed up to command a Swift boat in the summer of 1968, he was inspired by the example of his hero, John F. Kennedy, who had commanded the PT-109 patrol boat in the Pacific in World War II. But Kerry had little expectation of seeing serious action. At the time the Swift boats -- or PCFs (patrol craft fast), in Navy jargon -- were largely restricted to coastal patrols. "I didn't really want to get involved in the war," Kerry wrote in a book of war reminiscences published in 1986.

Kerry only volunteered because he would have been drafted otherwise. The Navy was far safer than the Army. There is plenty of evidence that his association with the Kennedy family allowed him to get a choice assignment. He would have otherwise been in more danger. As for Lt. Bush. He had to pass rather strict tests to get his assignment, even if he did have help getting there. If he failed, he would have been likely ended up in any line unit position.

Well, I think his Swift Boat duty was safer. I've seen people get electocuted from the high power used.
