Was Bush smart not to go to war? Kennedy did and it almost killed him. Reagan didn’t. John Wayne didn’t.
You can’t run for president if you are dead. Good career choice from our president. Carter enlisted. Clinton did not, but he did not pretend to be John Wayne. Is W. just another who can talk the talk but cannot walk the walk? For all his faults, Kerry did serve in Nam as did Al Gore. Why not the shrub?
Rick N. Thanks for the correction, however whenever I was stuck in The Nam, I didn’t have a make up person available. No one did my nails. Reagan. Poor guy. I thought I had it rough with the Marines.
Young man. Thanks. But, how young can I be if I served in the Marine Corps from 68-71?
