After reviewing the article, I have concluded that Philip Bloch has chosen and excellent main topic of Senator John Kerry wanting to be portrayed as an American hero in order to win the up coming presidential election. Bloch has no facts or evidence to support these assumptions. Also, Bloch makes assumptions that the testimony Kerry gave in front of Congress upon his dismissal from Vietnam were used by North Vietnamese to torture POWs.

Bloch, also states how Kerry is refusing to release his medical records because he is afraid of discrediting the American hero he has tried to portray. Bloch emphasizes on how Kerry admired and wanted to be like President John F. Bloch was involved in many illegal protests, which at one time shut down a main university administration building. In my opinion, those who were unpatriotic were the ones who went off to war blindly without questioning the purpose or necessity of the war" (Bloch). Bloch states that Kerry's testimony he made after coming home from Vietnam was used by the North Vietnamese to torture POWs.
