He once was a better man than most and that includes you and I.
No, he was once a war hero.
That doesn't make him a better man. It only makes him a war hero.
He was a war hero, but remains a crook and a slimebag. If he valued service to his country so highly, he wouldn't have sold his office.
Randy Cunningham enlisted in 1966 when Vietnam was hot. I enlisted at the tail end of Vietnam. Unless you enlisted when Vietnam, Iraq or Afghanistan were hot, that makes Randy Cunningham your better at that stage of his life.
That doesn't make him a better man.
Becoming a hero is a testament to his ability and the size of his grapes in his cockpit. Enlisting when Vetnam was hot makes him a better man than most statistically speaking. Where you fall in those stats I have no idea.
It only makes him a war hero.
See above.
Bingo!
