17. Reading from the last paragraph
when corporate media gives information in print(if any) it is usually is at the end article. Chomsky's advice start at the end, you will save some time.

Questions about Kerry's anti-war activities arose after some Democrats made an issue of Bush's service in the domestic Air National Guard, questioning whether he showed up for duty in Alabama in the early 1970s.

I can't imagine why the other veterans would question somebody about being AWOL from the Air guard when as * would say "a political war was going on".

I feel proud to know that I can still have the choice to support someone that served in military who also also felt he had to protest "the police action in Viet Nam" (as told in my high school history books). I mean what the hell is the sense of us serving in the military, if all one gets from it is a fascist totalitarian state that don't allow questions.

Serving and knowing that your also protecting such rights gives it a lot more meaning. "Give me Liberty or give me Death" is not a multiple choice.

For all them chicken-hawks that ducked out when they were looking for volunteers, your time has come, please belly up to the bar. The rest of us want to know where in the Hell you were and why any one should be following the orders of such persons that may also result in their death, especially if reasons for service in such hostilities were arranged because of lies, deceit and just about every other kind of chicanery.

Many of us who served are not happy and probably even outraged with such goings on. Spending untold billions to murder innocent people for a lie. What is the definition of a traitor anyway?
