Kerrys mistakes are forgiveable (if he even took part in them himself) becuase he was 20 something. We know how 20 somethings are especially throw in a war, and adrenaline.
Just like i can forgive bush for his bailing out on his duty by using his dad as a shield. I think its just as reprehensible as if what they said about kerry was true. But they were both younger. What bush does now is when hes supposed to be a mature adult male and very bright.
