Viet Nam against Bush and the draft-dodging Rethugs in his administration?

1. He SHOULD use it. Bush was AWOL and Cheney a chickenhawk.
John Kerry: 3 Purple Hearts

George W Bush: 3 DUIs

2. They should use it, but are afraid, it seems
Don't want to be too mean to the Imperial family, otehrwise they might blast us with Goebbels v2.0

Got news for you folks, they are going to do it anyway.

3. I think it's left more to his surrogates
Edwards is being used to play up this angle quite a bit and I'm sure others will as well ... it may not play as well with the American public if Kerry stands up and says "Bush was AWOL while I won 3 Purple Hearts" ... regardless of how true it is, it could come off as a bit arrogant or as bragging if done in the wrong way
