To my mind, whether or not those bandaids are only disrespectful to Kerry or to all vets is irrelevant. Whether or not Kerry's wounds were serious or superficial is irrelevant. Whether Kerry got his wounds under fire or not is irrelevant. What is relevant is that he served his country and he was wounded in the process. That applies equally whether someone served in Vietnam or the Guard. I'm not saying that anyone who serves is beyond criticism, but this kind of mockery is loathsome and reprehensible, and it's something you just don't do. Ever.
