... 4 star generals who fought in Vietnam on this list...

Don't get me wrong - there's PLENTY of shit to deservedly speak of such people. But to lump them in with the chickenhawks is a MASSIVE wrong.

Or put it this way: the wrong committed by the POWs and the 4 star Generals is NOT the wrong of being too cowardly to put oneself in harm's way, while at the same time being willing to put others in harm's way.

I think there's a WORLD'S difference between the kinds of wrongs. Not (necessarily) greater-lesser, but DIFFERENT.

imo.

There are those on the democratic side who did not serve. There are those on the republican side who did serve.

Then ruin a 35 year reputation in 5 seconds, by waving around a vial of powder before the UN. Funny that.

one of the people instrumental in attempting to cover up MyLai early in his career.

It's a who's who in the GOP party.

Shame on them in every way. It makes Michael Savage, Rush, and all the rest look the clowns they are.

Navy ..... Pat and 2 friends got off the boat for duty in Japan.
