Even as an observer from across the pond, the world knows that Bush was a beer-soaked waster who used Daddy's Dollars and the National Guard as an easy-option cowardly alternative to Vietnam, and managed to play hide-and-go-seek for half his supposed service, while Kerry served in Vietnam.
Imagine that a brit believing liberal media propaganda. As for Kerry he was getting shot at, if you count the ricochet from mortar rounds he fired at rocks that gave him a scratch less than 1inch long for which he applied for another, phony, purple heart which got him out of the military and allowed him to campaign against the war making up stories about being under fire, to which now he's distancing himself from and the liberal media convienently chooses to ignore. This is a quote from his supposed service records that has been called into serious question on the validity.
On a patrol of the Dam Doi River with five other swiftboats and helicopter cover, PCF 94 came under intense small arms and rocket fire from three personnel in black pajamas on the bank. Kerry and one member of his crew were wounded. Kerry received shrapnel wounds in his left thigh. The second man, EN2 Eugene Kenneth Thorson suffered shrapnel wounds in his right arm. Both were treated aboard the USCGC Wachusetts and returned to duty. Persons filing reports on this mission were highly critical of the cover provided by the helicopters and noted that the area seemed prosperous and lacked offensive bunkers, and suggested that future operations in the area avoid destruction. Kerry received the Purple Heart for this operation.
Bush is no great military man..but neither is Kerry and any attempt to show him as one is a big lie, but hey that's what he's good for.
