Thomas Sowell: Stop and think: "Senator Kerry has talked about his time in Vietnam longer than he actually spent in Vietnam. Does his war record more than three decades ago give him lifetime immunity from all questions about military issues? Do those who rely on the mainstream media even know whether his war record is for real?

If a decorated combat veteran must be believed, then why are the many decorated combat veterans who served with Kerry in Vietnam -- and served longer -- not to be believed, or not even have their very different picture of him in Vietnam examined against the facts, instead of being dismissed?

Even Benedict Arnold was an American war hero wounded in combat but that doesn't stop us for criticizing him for what he did later."
