David Hackworth on Veteran Fratricide

David Hackworth is America's most decorated living soldier and he doesn't like the denigration of John Kerry's service and calls on Bush to do the right thing.

Here is a sample paragraph:

"But politics and style aside, Kerry did serve with distinction in Vietnam when he easily could have avoided that killing field. His service to his country shouldn’t be diminished by the same despicable, politically motivated tactics visited upon Sens. John McCain in South Carolina and Max Cleland in Georgia, also Viet vets. This kind of gutter-bashing doesn’t belong in American politics, and vets shouldn’t allow themselves to be used as ammo for cheap shots at one of their own."

I would like to add, "Here! Here!"
