This isn't exactly a Pete Seger fan site.
What amuses me is that they think this is newsworthy.
Al Gore - son of a wealthy Tennessee Senator - got a cushy job as a Stars & Stripes journalist, and a bodyguard.
Kerry got reassigned as an admiral's aide after spending only four and a half months out of a one-year tour of duty in Vietnam.
I think you'd be hard-pressed to find any son of privelege and higher education who didn't get at least one break during Vietnam, among those who didn't avoid service entirely, such as Bill Clinton.
