While I rarely watch CNN, ABC, NBC, and CBS, if they are touting that the military service members are in favor of Kerry for his service "record", then they truely are twisting preception to their own views in order to shape public opinion. But then again, what else is new. Provided those around me are an actual reflection of the rest of the Army, Kerry MIGHT have the support of maybe 10 to 15% of todays service members.
Many of those that seem to support Kerry are under the delusion that he will bring them all the soldiers home so they no longer have to be deployed and away from their families. I say delusion because no where I have seen has Kerry ever said he would bring anyone home. Rather to the contrary, he has made comments about us beoming more involved in Sudan. Which would only add another round of deployments.
