Would John Kerry be the first Vietnam Veteran to hold the office of President?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Yes.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
So he would have access to the sort of privileged records that no Vietnam Veteran to date
has ever had.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Whilst serving as a Senator, he already has had access to confidential material.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I wonder just how messed up that would be, for any of the hawks who are still in Washington?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It is very unusual for a military career to go longer than 30 years.
The Vietnam War ended 30 years ago.
How many military people in the Pentagon, served in Vietnam ?
If there are any, they must be coming up to retirement.
