Um, no offense, but that's pretty ancient news. I doubt there's 1 in 10 people on this website who aren't aware of it. Has the media reported it? Frankly, I'd be surprised if even they haven't by now (although no doubt it was buried at the bottom of page A17 under an ad for frictionless toilet bowl seats)

I agree that even the MSM has reported on Kerry's early departure from Vietnam, although I wouldn't hazard a guess as to how many people who don't follow politics actually know that his departure was early and as a result of his three Purple Hearts.
I guess I wasn't clear about what I thought the MSM should look at. I would like to know how many OTHER vets had taken advantage of this exception to the one-year tour of duty in Vietnam. I think it would be interesting to learn that Kerry was the only vet ever to make use of this exemption. Or, that most of those using the exemption were later VVAW members. Or, that the other vets who benefitted from this rule were seriously wounded. You get the idea.
