Reply #140: Why would I flame you?

[Jo March]

We have a difference of opinion.

Look, have you been in the military? I have and if the Swift Boaters came after me, I'd have a hard time locating half of the people I served with, most of the documents that proved that I served, etc. Heck, my DD214 says that I served over 10 years in the Army when I was only in for 3. Can you imagine if I tried to defend my record against the smear machine that was out for Kerry and financed by the right?

I am not cutting Kerry 100% slack here but I know that if he had gotten bogged down in the Swift Boat shit, then it would have been all over for him. He would have been trashed 9 ways to Sunday on ALL of the news channels.

I'm sure that he knows his record but refuting those bastards would not have been easy in the ending days of the campaign.

FWIW, I believe that he won 2004. Too much hanky-panky in many states with the voting machines to believe otherwise.

Peace to you,
