"Officers were there to Lead not to Leave."

[QRQ 30]

This simple quote from a retired Marine officer may be more potent than all of the other attacks on Kerry's war record, medals etc.

As our leader is he going to have the fortitude to stick it out or is he going to cut and run after three minor boo boos?

I would like to see campaigners jump all over that!!

Sort of related hijack:

CSPAN has John Kerry's 1971 congressional hearing testimony on tonight. Also, currently on is a town hall meeting about the 9/11 Commission report with Bob Kerrey and Slade Gorton, which is interesting to watch as they expand in a relaxed atmosphere about what the Commission found. Hopefully, CSPAN will have it available on demand on its website later, but that isn't indicated just now.
