you're forgetting Bush also went AWOL from the army. At least kerry fought, overdramatized or not. Its true, bush is the only president ever to have a criminal record. And Iraq is more fucked up now than it ever was. The Iraqi people do not appreciate us at all. Did they find weapons of mass destruction? No.
war crimes are at all time high btw.
I bet most of you dont even pay attention to what kerry has to say. His speeches seem pretty genuine.
