I don't care that he was a Vietnam 'hero', he sold out his heroism and all that good will and his tens of thousands of constituents all for a house, a Rolls Royce and a couple of antique commodes! This bastard was effectively a war-time profiteer. I'm asking for that full 10 years for this crocodile tear shedding scum.
The law needs to get with the times. Any high official *bribed* should be stripped of such honors, especially one who may have put troops in harms way by helping contractors he was on the take for during wartime.
