Funny how liberals never care about other liberals that pulled strings to “avoid Vietnam”.
Of course some of the brave ones, like John Kerry, just went to pad a resume, lie to superiors, and fake injuries to get fake medals they pretended to throw away.
Kerry wasn’t “one of the bravest.” He did everything he could avoid honoring his ROTC commitment, including enrolling in the Sorbbone.
Given a cushy offshore Vietnam job, he was a haughty, superior jerk who continued to try to shirk his obligation.
Pissed off, the Navy transferred him into a leaky boat in the Mekong Delta where he could quickly fill the exalted position for such a valuable sailor - prone in Arlington National Cemetery.
