You’re an ass. He was a USMC pilot with 149 combat missions in two wars, and got on top of a rocket when it was about a 20% chance it would blow up.

A few political disagreements don’t negate that.

You're ignorant. SENATOR Glenn was a disgrace; his atrocious record in the US Senate was and is nothing to be brushed under the rug. I will not ignore the misfeasance and malfeasance of bad politicians, regardless of what they may have done before entering politics.

SENATOR Glenn's atrocious voting record does not besmirch COLONEL Glenn's wartime and NASA heroism.

COLONEL Glenn's wartime and NASA heroism does not redeem SENATOR Glenn's atrocious voting record.

I suggest that you learn to make distinctions.

It wasn’t just a few political disagreements.
Clinton sold the Chinese technology transfers for campaign cash that allowed them to get to space and target every American city with nuclear weapons.
Prior to those transfers everything they tried to launch blew up on the launch pad.
Glenn shut down the investigation of that treason.
