The Bush Administration's willingness to subordinate the war on terror to its own political interests is far more important to this election than whether John Kerry served under fire in Cambodia in December 1968 or January 1969. They do this shit again and again:
- sitting on Lieberman's proposal to create a Dept. of Homeland Security for months, and then using it as a campaign issue
- sending too few troops to Iraq
- outing Valerie Plame
- stonewalling the 9/11 commission in various ways
But you guys want to talk about Cambodia.

Hah!
Just because the administration is using the clinton triangulation strategy and taking ideas for its own does not mean they are harming national security. And I'm not convinced that DHS has had a material impact on the war anyway.
Too few troops may be a valid critism, though I don't think it was political, I just don't think we have enough to meet all of our needs.
Outing VP did nothing to harm national securuity.
Please explain how delaying the 9/11 commission harmed national security. That group was a joke anyway, and I'm not sure why everyone is so willing to implement their changes wholecloth. Specifically, I think an intelligence czar needs lots of debate from a civil liberties prospective.
