    Have you ever seen or heard of wearing your ribbons on fatigues?

    Nope. Class A or B uniforms only. Lt. Kerry was out of uniform.

    He was grandstanding, as usual.

    It shows a definite lack of respect for those very decorations. One has to wonder how he could have been so cavalier about them if they were legitimately earned.

    You guys are pathetic.

    John Kerry served our country. He fought for United States in a war, unlike someone else we know.

    I don't care if you're a republican or a democrat. You have NO business bashing a veteran for wearing ANYTHING on his gear........

    What next? You're going to tell us the economy is in good hands under Bush?

    How dare you

    I'm not going to touch war stories or anything like that. I will say that everything our economy is currently going through directly results from 8 years of Clintonia. The economy was good during his administration because of Reaganomics and he just pissed it all away by letting the government and big corporations grow fat and happy off of the taxpayer dollar. Everyone bit the bullet after the dot-com bust, and THAT only happened because people finally woke up and realized all of the IPOs were illegitimate.

    None of this would have happened had Clinton used the SEC properly to police all of the runaway big corporations and illegitimate IPOs during his administration.

    No, what is pathetic, is that you insist on showing your ignorance. Do you really think you said anything of substance in this post?
    Everything that is done in the military stands for something or means something or has a protocol. So when this POS appears before Congress, "OUT OF UNIFORM", it is not by accident, but by design. You can fight in all the wars you want, but that will never give you the right to demean the very service in which you serve.
    This, along with all his other military related faux pas, may be exactly why he won't release his military records.
    Go figure, he wants to stand proudly on his service, but not his record.


    You really should get a clue before you open your mouth! :angry:

    All I know is that if I had earned a Silver Star or a Purple Heart legitimately, they would mean a little bit more to me than to be used as props. I wouldn't cheapen them by displaying them improperly. Kerry knew what he was doing.

    By the way, I'm also a veteran...I took a lot of pride in wearing my uniform correctly. And if he's wearing the uniform improperly I will bash him for it.

    What has Bush done to hurt the economy? What has any modern day President ever done to help the economy? The economy isn't in his hands. It's called free markets, capitalism.

    There are two things a government could do, that could hurt the economy in the long run: raise taxes and raise minimum wage. One candidate wants to do that.
