I am not arguing his record, I freely admit he served in VietNam, was wounded and received medals while serving and was honorably discharged.

All I am saying is that taken as part of his whole life, it wasn't the best part to build a presidential campaign around. He was 57 when he ran for president and if those four months of service were the high point of this life, the events that best showed beyond a doubt that he was the best candidate to be POTUS, he probably shouldn't have run in the first place.


Did you mean to say 4 years?  Kerry actually served from 1966 to 1970.
