Although it is tempting to pile on the guy because he’s a Democrat it appears the guy is a real life hero and served our country well. I wish him well. I think of him as I do Bob Kerry I just can’t understand why he’s a Democrat. Heroes do go astray Duke Cunningham was a hero to me and a Republican. He also turned out to be corrupt.

You might be right, but OTOH might there be more phony claims to drop? I have no info on this, but am wondering.

Don't admire Bob Kerrey, who's a Hillary supporter, socialist school president and suck-up to disgraced donor Hsu. Yes, it was honorable of him to have become a SEAL. And yes, he lost his foot in Vietnam, but that injury happened in an incident that IIRC was questionable, perhaps less than valorous. While I agree we should honor his sacrifice, no matter how the injury happened, what bothers me is that Kerrey exploited that injury to get into office and help the traitorous Democrat cause, a la Max Cleland.

Duke Cunningham, I agree with you there. It was shocking and demoralizing to see a genuine hero like Cunningham go corrupt. However, I think he may be the exception that proves the rule.
