I stand corrected. I believe McCain won the Silver Cross, and they did the same number on him. In any case, I think the right is making a huge mistake in bringing on this line of attack. It simply causes democrats to respond using unpleasant facts from Bush's service record, and in the end we all are denigrating people who served. The whole thing needs to be dropped, for their own benefit. The central known facts of Kerry's service, no matter what dirt they dig up, compared to the central known facts of Bush's service to be highlighted, and those facts are embarassing. Its strategically stupid. Anyone who lived thru Vietnam knows the past, should be left buried. It is nothing but unpleasant, divisive grief.
