The dossier on Kerry also includes a 1995 proposal to cut intelligence funding by $300 million for the next five years and a 1994 proposal to cut $1 billion from the program that coordinates counterterrorism activities.
The Boston Globe observed last year that in 1984, Kerry said he would cancel the B-1 bomber and the B-2 stealth bomber; the Apache helicopter; the Patriot missile; F-15, F-14 and Harrier jets; and the Aegis air-defense cruiser.
The Globe also reported that he advocated cuts in other systems, including the Abrams tank, Bradley fighting vehicle and Tomahawk missile, all critical to U.S. military success in Afghanistan and Iraq.

Kerry's Purple Heart, how he got it???
No details have ever been given but Kerry did say he was "walking wounded" which meant no down time for the total of three "injuries." But can you imagine his luck...he was only on tour for four months and he gets hit by schrapnel three times. And he had the luck of the Irish as well. He found some obscure military law that said if wounded THREE times, you could than ask for stateside assignment. Now how lucky is that?
