Funny, I knew how many years he served in the military from all the crap that was written on him in 2003 and 2004. Of course the months in Vietnam were important.  It was the final injury that got him sent back to the states.  The military did that with all who were injured multible times.   I swear, your memory is short.  
  
I also knew how long John Kerry served in the Navy, but I didn't hear about anything but his swift boat experience when he played up his service during his big "Reporting for Duty" show to kick off his campaign for president.

I don't remember him mentioning his time as an ensign on the USS Gridley.

You can easily prove me wrong.


"To take from one, because it is thought his own industry and that of his fathers has acquired too much, in order to spare to others, who, or whose fathers, have not exercised equal industry and skill, is to violate arbitrarily the first principle of association, the guarantee to everyone the free exercise of his industry and the fruits acquired by it." --Thomas Jefferson
