I agree with k's earlier comment: this *is* a big ] deal, this *is* a real issue. No, it's rumor-mongering by Democratic Party officials who are doing their level best to find an emotional rallying cry that distracts the public from discussing *real* issues. It's not coincidence that this came up during an election year. They're playing games with public opinion, so that they can position their Kerry War Hero against Bush-The-AWOL-Guardsman. (sigh) I guess if you want to see it as a real issue, that's your call. But I feel strongly that the Democratic Party is trying to use it for misdirection, and you're just falling for their bait.
