A U.S. Army nurse checks on Pfc. James Conner after he was brought to a military hospital in the Green Zone of Baghdad, Iraq (news - web sites) Thursday, Oct. 21, 2004. Conner said that he was driving an armored vehicle Thursday outside of Baghdad when a suicide car bomber drove up and detonated his explosives, and shrapnel flew in through the open hatch. The hospital doctor said he would regain vision in both his eyes. Conner is from Picket City, Tenn. (AP Photo/John Moore)

7. "Just shrapnel", Kerry's detractors said ...

when they were minimizing his Vietnam wounds. "Not like he took real bullets", they said.

Tell that to Jimmy Conner you heartless bastards.

8. He IS Not Wounded, he Is "Injured"!!

"Hey. You don't need a flu shot and you don't need sutures either. So take a couple of aspirin and get back on the front lines and don't let anything happen to Halliburton's assets. Now watch me while I make this drive."
