3. The problem inherent.
His "war heroes" do not have the national media questioning their service every day for months.

His "war heroes" do not have groups of other veterans scheming to bring you down because of your party affiliation, telling lies about you simply because thats what they do.

His "war heroes" are not national figures, in the spotlight and under the microscope every day for examination and cross examination. Their every move is not questioned. Their every past action is not brought to light. If Kerry had been quiet and 'noble' about his service, it would have simply made him look guilty of covering something up when the Smear Boat Liars started their game.

But most of all:

His "war heroes" are not running for President of the United States. Politicians must endorse themselves to the public every day of their lives. They must show how they are deserving of your support, of your vote, and of your respect. You do not expect a politician who cuts taxes, balances the budget, and lowers crime by 50 percent to 'keep quiet and noble about it' do you? Of course not, that would be silly.

His entire message is based on a concept which does not even apply to this arena, and therefore, is invalid.
