"they were trying to destroy the young war hero"
Kerry is lucky he didn't get charged with treason.
He did meet twice with the enemy, with out the knowledge or
permission of the government. Kerry accepted the enemies
terms for a peace plan, then came to America & publicly told
the President to accept them.
And let's not forget his horrific, intentionally false
testimony of war crimes given under oath.
If all Kerry got was a dishonorable discharge, he got off
easy.
