THE MAN I'M REFERRING TO IS SECRETARY OF STATE JOHN KERRY (DEM). HE MADE SOME COMMENTS ABOUT THE VETERANS ADMINISTRATION SCANDAL. IN SHORT, HE SAID THAT HE "FELT" FOR THOSE VETERANS WHO WERE MISTREATED,, ESPECIALLY AFTER THE WAY THE VIETNAM VETERANS WERE TREATED WHEN THEY RETURNED FROM THE WAR..... IT WAS THIS "MAN" WHO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE WAY THOSE SOLDIERS WERE TREATED WHEN THEY CAME HOME. KERRY SERVED AS A "SWIFT BOAT" CAPTAIN THAT PATROLED THE COAST OF VIETNAM. IT IS/WAS RUMORED THAT HE SHOT HIMSELF IN THE A** TO GET OUT OF COMBAT (HE SERVED 6 MO'S TOTAL). FOR THIS "WOUND" HE WAS AWARDED A FEW MEDALS,, WHICH HE CLAIMED HE THREW OVER THE WHITE HOUSE FENCE DURING A PROTEST AGAINST THE WAR. YEARS LATER, KERRY ADMITTED THAT HE THREW SOMEBODY ELSES' MEDALS OVER THE FENCE THAT DAY.... AFTER HE WAS DISCHARGED FROM THE NAVY,, HE GAVE A REPORT TO CONGRESS IN WHICH HE ACCUSED AMERICAN SOLDIERS OF COMMITTING ATROCITIES...
