105. Kerry In Context
John Kerry's early departure from Vietnam suggests that strings were pulled to get him back safe. Although healthy and able-bodied, Kerry returned from combat duty in only a third of the usual tour. The apparent context of Kerry's actions are that (a) the war was nasty; and (b) a fellow could get hurt.

Some actions speak for themselves. If Kerry is positioning himself as a war hero, why did he bug out so quickly? That doesn't strike me as heroic! He gives the impression that he left early because of his connections. How like George Bush and Dan Quayle, inter alia.
