Reply #5: To #s 3 & 4 (why did I know such would show up): [View All]

#3: I wrote to him DURING the primary season, BEFORE he clinched the nomination but was obviously headed that way. Why would you assume it was AFTER he won the nomination?!1


#4: Since I lived through that period I know that he made his service INVISIBLE. That was my point. If he had played it smart, he would have PLAYED IT UP, would have said all through the campaign, "I have a distinguished war record. I might even be called a war hero, and I am running against this war because it is wrong!1" Instead he pandered to a relatively small group, as such groups always are, of anti-war, yes, but moreso ANTI-DRAFT and ANTI-MILITARY base, to whom military service was anathema. Btw, the CLINTONs cut their teeth working in his campaign, and THEIR years in the WH were marked by military people claiming to be mistreated by them.

But anyway, so kind of you to drop by.
