We can debate the authenticity of the documents, the motivations for producing them and the lineage of typewriters till our fingers turn blue. But it doesn't matter. George Bush is not presenting his time in the Guard as part of his resume' for President. George Bush did not characterize Viet Nam veterans as war criminals. George Bush did not mock WWII veterans with the grimy, doped-up scum re-enacting the flag raising on Iwo Jima.
This is nothing more that a feeble tit-for-tat effort by the sleaze merchants in the kerry campaign.
Kerry has bragged and strutted about his miserable three and a half months of duty. He should take a lesson on how real heroes conduct themselves. The following is an excerpt from a description of one of the men who raised the flag on Mount Suribachi:
"Of the surviving Flag Raisers, only Bradley was successful in putting his life back together after the war."
---From the best-selling "Immortal Images" by Tedd Thomey
John Bradley returned to his home town in the Midwest after the war, prospered as the owner of a family business, and gave generously of his time and money to local causes. He was married for 47 years and had eight children.
While Bradley had a public image as a war hero, he was a very private person. He avoided discussion of his war record saying only that the real heros were the men who gave their lives for their country. "

It seems that humility is a trait most all of these extraordinary men had in common.
It also seems that humility is in critically short supply at the kerry-heinz household.
