How and why did that liquor pig Ted Kennedy get into Arlington National Cemetery? What a disgrace to the men and women who earned their option to be buried there.

He pulled two years in the Army, about as distinguished as the rest of his life:
While expelled, Kennedy enlisted in the Army, but mistakenly signed up for four years instead of two. His father, Joseph P. Kennedy, former U.S. Ambassador to England, pulled the necessary strings to have his enlistment shortened to two years, and to ensure that he served in Europe, not Korea, where a war was raging. Kennedy was assigned to Paris, never advanced beyond the rank of Private, and returned to Harvard upon being discharged.
