How anyone could vilify Bob Dole over his military service is beyond me. Here is what Wikipedia has to say about his war record:
In 1942, Dole joined the Army's Enlisted Reserve Corps to fight in World War II. He became a second lieutenant in the Army's 10th Mountain Division.In April of 1943, while Dole was fighting the German Wehrmacht in the hills of Northern Italy, he was hit by Nazi machine gun fire in his upper right back. His right arm was also injured so badly that it was unrecognizable. He had to wait nine long hours on the Italian battlefield before he was finally taken to the Fifteenth Evacuation Hospital. He was eventually transferred to a U.S. Army hospital in Michigan, where he would begin his recovery, and survive all the serious injuries and operations. The extensive wounds in his right arm though rendered his right arm completely paralyzed. Today, Dole often carries a pen in the hand of his paralyzed right arm.
Dole was twice decorated for heroic achievement, receiving two Purple Hearts for his injuries, and the Bronze Star Medal for his attempt to assist a downed radio man.
Leftists are contemptible.
That's why you should ignore Wikapedia. Dole was woulded in 1945. You're off by 2 years.
And you should hear them bitch about how Bob Dole was never court martialed for his failure to salute after getting the Purple Hearts, too.
