“Did you know he was a war hero In Viet Nam?”

Hmmm, so was Bob Kerrey, former Gov & Senator from Nebraska. He got his Med of Honor by ‘disobeying’ orders...he went ashore and turned the wrong way into a mine field and got his leg blown off. For that he was awarded his ‘hero’ status.

JFK had PT-109 Dead in the water, and got run over by a ship five times his side, and a bit slower.

LBJ got his Silver Star for a halfway bombing mission that saw no one, dropped nothing and had a bit of engine trouble.
