Honestly? Not much. I didn't even vote for him.

Well, my memory brown-out started sometime around the Clinton era, but I don't seem to recall Clinton getting us into any engagements where 1,000 plus and counting of our young men have been killed. Correct me if I've forgetten about some other war that occurred during Clinton's tenure in the White House.

Frankly, I think it's stupid.

There were many anti-war protestors who had gone to 'Nam and seen it for the dirty little war it was and came back to join the rest of us in the streets. My friend who fought honorably in the First Gulf War is disgusted by this current round now going on. I don't see what's so out of the ordinary about Kerry's stance. And BTW, the naval reserves were very different from the National Guard. Men who joined the reserves in the 60's knew damn well they stood a good chance of being called up for active service.
