Only REPUBLICANS smear vets
Ive hammered that point home to several kerry/service smearers in my political chatroom and they get upset and leave. Their whole "I support our troops" facade has been stripped away and the rot beneath has been exposed. Their motto now seems to be "I support our troops unless they vote Kerry, then I attack and smear them". Every position they have ever put forth on the mmilitary and vets just went out the window. SHAMEFUL!

1. Deep down they hate vets
It's well founded that neocons avoided all types of military service. And the benefits for vets that cost tax money that would be put to better use in their pockets? It boggles the mind.

3. They Hate The Military Too
Otherwise, why would they be so willing to dispute Kerry's medals? They obviously have so little respect for the professional military folks that they believe they would be dumb enough to give out medals to folks who don't deserve them.

They hate vets. They hate active duty. They hate reservists. They hate guardsmen. They are merely cannon fodder and the method to facilitate the replishment of munitions inventory.

5. They believe that Kerry somehow awarded himself his medals
Every medal kerry earned was phoney but every other medal awarded in Nam was legit? The republicans truly believe this? Smear and smear alike.

6. Yep!
Somehow, despite the money, training, and structure, they act like the military is so slipshod, and full of idiot leadership that some 22 year old kid scammed the system so completely as to come home early with a box full of valor medals.

The only way one can explain this attitude of these smear experts, is that they hate the military so much that it's no problem for them to paint them as dullards so they can tarnsih Kerry.

4. And Bush Uses and Abuses Vets
Looks at how he's used and manipulated many of the Swift Boat Vets just for his political gain. He could care less about them otherwise.
