Hunter may speak with pride of his son serving his 3rd tour in Iraq, but did Hunter serve with pride in VietName? Hmmm?
Who on the stage tonight, served in the military besides mccain and gilmore? In time of war I’d feel a lot safer with a military may who works with the Generals in charge.

[alicewonders]

Hunter served in Vietnam.

[pissant]

Hunter was a decorated Airborn Ranger in Nam, my friend.

[gidget7]

Hunter did proudly serve in Vietnam and said so. He is also on the Armed Services Committee. Can’t get any closer to the Generals than that!

[RasterMaster]

Duncan Hunter was an Army Ranger in Vietnam...his father was a Marine in WWII and his son is a Marine in Iraq (2 tours) and Afghanistan (and running for his father’s congressional seat).

[lawdog]

Hunter was in the Army during that war.

[SoCalPol]

Duncan Hunter was an Army Ranger in Vietnam, Purple Heart, Bronze Star.
How about Mitt, Hmmmmmm

[processing please hold]

but did Hunter serve with pride in VietName? Hmmm?

Ummmm, yes he did. He left college and joined the Airborne and also earned the Bronze Star.

You have any Bronze Stars?

Congressman Hunter served bravely in the 173rd Airborne and 75th Army Rangers in Viet Nam, winning the bronze star. You have a problem with that?

[Paperdoll]

How many in Congress do you suppose have sons fighting in a war action? They usually get them exempted, and let “the little people” do it.

Then take the time to research Duncan Hunter.

He's exactly what you're looking for.

In 1969, he dropped out of college, joined the army and was sent to Vietnam. From there he mailed his pay to a friend who purchased for him an island in Idaho’s Snake River, where Duncan farmed after his discharge. Then another friend said a San Diego law school would admit him without a college degree. In 1980 he was a lawyer with a storefront office in San Diego’s Hispanic community when his father walked in and told him he could be a congressman. Never mind, his father said, that this district was only 29 percent Republican. Reagan was at the top of the ticket.
