Karl who would you rather be in a foxhole with John Kerry or Ted Nugent?

He would definitely go with Ted, LOL! Ideology trumps true combat experience.

I would sure be with someone I knew could shoot straight.

One of John Kerry's stolen Purple Hearts was from him firing a grenade launcher too close to the boat he was on and a piece of shrapnel hitting his shoulder.  He slept the night in his bunk, when to the doctor the next day who removed the sliver with a tweezer.

So what? Kerry was firing at the enemy.  You get a scratch in combat and you qualify for the Purple Heart.  Kerry's true heroism was in openly opposing a tragic, unwinnable and costly American debacle wherein the United States -- the most powerful high-tech military might in the world was engaged in an Imperialist war against a third-world country which was trying to unite and expel foreign invaders -- and can you believe it, America lost!!  South Vietnam's government was totally corrupt and every one of its leaders was an American puppet.  Not unlike Maliki in Iraq and Karzai in Afghanistan, and you can toss the Shah of Iran into the same salad.

And we never learn from the failures of our temporary nation-building.

Reality.
