>>The man served his country with honor.<<

What honor is there in pulling strings to get a cushy stateside job while others are getting sent overseas to get their fool heads blown off?

I think that the next time there is such a draft, no one should obey until it is certified that all able-bodied sons of politicians have already been drafted, inducted, and sent to join their units.

By the way, my view is the same for Al Gore, whose daddy's pull got him a behind the lines job as a "reporter" for Stars & Stripes, Vietnam Edition.

Honorable??? You need a new dictionary. Disgraceful is more like it.
