MINNEAPOLIS (Reuters) - Democrat John Kerry courted the traditionally Republican veterans' vote on Friday by suggesting that many in the U.S. military would prefer him as commander in chief over President Bush.
A decorated Navy lieutenant in the Vietnam War, Kerry told veterans who are organizing other veterans across the country that active duty personnel were privately telling him, "We need a change."
"You'd be amazed at the number of active duty personnel who are coming up at events around the country, greeting me in ropelines or coming to rallies and telling me how important it is for us to stand up and fight for those who are not able to speak out for themselves right now for obvious reasons," Kerry said.
