#1 For me its not so much his war record as is its his after-war record with Hanoi Jane's crowd.

I don't care if he was Audie-Friggen-Murphy in Vietnam, what he did when he got home was despicable.

#2 Savage can't really expect Kerry to give a discrete answer to these questions, they would blow him "out of the water."

#3 Here are the answers you might expect:

1) Hey! I served in Vietnam! That more then George Bush did!

2) I am proud of my bronze and silver stars!

3) The Vietmanese was armed and could have turned and fired. (I think it was proper to shoot the VC -- *if* he was armed. There might have been no way to know of the launcher was loaded or not. I'll leave it up to other to comment on weather it was worthy of a silver star or not.)

4) Those 200 did not serve under me so they can't possibly have seen what happened from 20 feet away.
