''One day he's saying that we were shooting civilians, cutting off their ears, cutting off their heads, throwing away his medals or his ribbons. The next day he's standing there, `I want to be president because I'm a Vietnam veteran.' "
Bob Dole has plenty more to say about John Kerry.
Dole sounds a whole lot like my dad did this morning when I asked him his opinion of Kerry. Except Dole didn't say that in all of the pics of John Kerry in Vietnam, he looks like he'd just come from taking a crap in the woods.
Dad speaks in colorful Southern expressions, some of which I don't fully understand. Like that one, for example.
In any case, both agree that Kerry makes medals look cheap, and that he owes an apology to Vietnam veterans for his actions after he came home.

I interpret that as having done something secretly that he doesn't want you to know about. Which would fit Kerry's background very well.
