   I admit that I'm not an authority on John Kerry.  I voted for Bush   
   (43) in '04.  I neither believe nor disbelieve that.  I have never   
   seen any supporting evidence, though.   
      
   I heard a story once from a Huey crew about how they were screwing   
   with the pilot and started chucking concussion grenades out the   
   door... then they started shooting up the real estate below 'em.  The   
   pilot swore he saw secondaries.  Anyway (long story short), the pilot   
   got a silver star and the crew all got bronze stars... or that's the   
   story I heard.  I tend to believe it because the source was usually   
   reliable.  (The guy *did* have a bronze star for heroism in engaging   
   an enemy AAA battery; UH-1s didn't usually survive encounters with   
   AAA.)   
      
   I don't like Kerry because he's far left and I'm a moderate.  I don't   
   like most Republicans for similar reasons.  I'd vote for Jane Fonda   
   before I'd vote for Turmp.
