It also says he received 3 purple hearts in 4 1/2 months, but 2 of his injuries were self inflicted. Apparently, 3 purple hearts = discharge, so it insinuates that he injured himself twice to fill the quota and get out of the military. He then came back to the U.S. and protested the war. He even wrote an anti-government book, which he has recently tried to buy up every copy of, so that it doesn't get out to the public. He is honored in a museum of communist Vietnam as a 'hero'. Etc...
There's a lot of info in the film, and I'm sure I skipped some stuff, but it's a good read if you can get to it. All stuff you will never see on the news, that's for sure.

Peachy.
So really, it comes down to picking the lesser of two evils. We already know how bad Bush can be, are we prepared to find out how bad Kerry can be?
I am.
