Actually, John Kerry served in Vietnam and was awarded three Purple Hearts among other honors. Which, in my mind, makes him a hypocrite. But you can't say he's "never been there."

*If you spend much time talking with veterans of war, you will find that they tend to fall into both the anti-war and pro-war camps. After all, the US glorifies war, and veterans are praised for their service. That is why many of them send their sons off to fight in wars as well. They believe it is the honorable thing to do. There are also plenty of veterans who return for multiple tours.
