[Mr Ramsbotham]

As most vets can tell you, being a vet imparts you with no special wisdom beyond your MOS.

Lee Harvey Oswald was a Marine. So was Robert Mueller, if I'm not mistaken. And Jeffrey Dahmer served in the Army, while John Kerry was a naval hero, several times decorated.

[Rembrandt]

“... John Kerry was a naval hero...”

John Kerry was an officer in the Navy; he was not a hero. He was, in fact, a coward and a murderer (shot a young Viet kid in the back).
