I mentioned Kerry because by the time Bush got through with him, his war heroism was changed into shooting some kid in the back. His military background was used against him while the AWOL George Bush stood tall. Looking at Bush and his cronies, no one presently has any military experience, yet these are the guys ineptly starting wars. What experience is best depends on the man.

See, I would say Reagan's loose gun approach was a complete failure, and his presidency one of the worst in american history, the full effects of which are only beginning to be felt.
