Nope, not a Vietnam Vet. Worthington served in WWII and in Korea. He was foreign correspondent for the Toronto Telegram for many years. Some of his wilder adventures as a journalist included being "embedded" with the Biafrin rebel forces during the Nigerian Civil War (he actually led a rebel assault on a town), helping his Russian translater defect from the USSR, covering the Warsaw Pact invasion of Czechoslovakia, and covering the trial of Jack Ruby.
He then went on to become the founding editor of the Toronto Sun and became a thorn in the side for the Trudeau Liberal government.
As an aside - he is David Frum's father-in-law.

Sorry man, I typed VietNam when I was actually thinking Korea! ;)
