"I know that for many of you sitting at home, parents of kids in Iraq, you want to know who is the person who can be your commander in chief and get your kids home and get the job done and win the peace," Kerry said in closing. "Let me look you in the eye and say to you: I defended this country as a young man in war and I will defend it as president of the United States  -Taken from the transcript of the first debate.

There you have it.  The soldiers in Iraq are kids but when Kerry was fighting in Vietnam, he was a "young man".  It was nothing more than calculated pandering.  The whole "sacrificing our children for an unjust war" liberal crapola.  Our service men and women are thinking adults who are fighting a war as a result of their own choices.  How is Kerry going to bring everyone home and win the peace?
