Default Come on, people

This desperately fake picture is months old.

As for "flip-flopping," non-brainwashed people call it "changing one's mind," which Kerry and Bush and Nader and the Pope and Madonna and I have done quite a few times in life.

As for Kerry changing his mind about military service, I would argue that that didn't happen at all. I imagine that Kerry didn't go to war excited about going to war, because anyone who harms someone without first being harmed is psychopathic. He went because he was told he needed to defend the country, and he believed in that idea. His experience in war taught him that what we were fighting for was not worth the lives that were being lost. So, what Kerry did, was honor his country and then, having learned from experience, continued to try to protect it. He understands war more than Bush or Cheney ever could because he was actually there, just like I know that going to college for music is pretty much a waste of time unless you want to be a concert musician. I would not expect someone who didn't go through that to understand it.
