2. they fixed that
Edited on Tue Dec-16-03 12:18 PM by TorchTheWitch
They took out the "former" from "former Viet Nam Veteran"

However, they made a bigger mistake and got his rank wrong. They have him as "NATO allied commander" (not even capitalized!) when the correct rank he held is NATO Supreme Allied Commander, Europe (SACEUR). I sent them an email to fix that... we'll see if they do.

Geez, what lousy journalism! How do you screw up someone's rank like that? It would be like calling the President the Vice President.

(on edit: I just realized they also didn't distinguish him as a decorated Viet Nam Veteran, but I already sent the email. ooops).
