Well the issue they had with Kerry is he took that bronze start and tossed it over the white house fence (along with a lot of other vets) during a protest. Ironically Bush dodging the Vietnam war is ONE thing that I don't hold against him (or anyone else that did it). But yeah you're darn right - there was no reason to have a problem with Kerry's patriotism.
