“McConnell enlisted in the 100th Division (Training), U.S. Army Reserve, in Louisville, Kentucky, during his final semester of law school. He did six months active service at Fort Knox, thereafter serving the active reserve.[7] He received an early discharge for optic neuritis, which is a common manifestation of multiple sclerosis.[8] However, it is unknown if he has multiple sclerosis.”

No, no need to attack his military service. McConnell had childhood polio and it left him with lots of physical problems, including severe asthma. His illnesses and unfitness for military duty are real, so let’s not go there.
