Kerry’s courage
- Share via
Bravo to David Shaw (“Don’t Let Bush Define Kerry by Antiwar Efforts,” May 2). He’s saying what needs to be said. John Kerry risked his life in Vietnam, then came home and dedicated himself to ending what he had come to see as a totally needless, unjust war, while chicken hawks Bush and Cheney supported the war enthusiastically while letting others do the fighting and dying.
It’s unconscionable for Bush and his supporters to question Kerry’s courage and patriotism -- and positively Orwellian for them to paint Kerry as an elitist and Bush as the candidate of the “common man.”
