4. He also stayed at a fancy hotel, called
the Hanoi Hilton. Just Kidding!!
This whole veteran thing is a little perplexing. I mean McCain is one, of course, and John Kerry. So is Obama's preacher. They were in Vietnam, Vietnam, and Korea, respectfully. Both of those wars were to stem the tide of communism from Red China, who now sells us lawnmowers, chainsaws, cheap plastic crap, furniture, and holds tons of US curency. All this not because they "won the war" - it seems pretty much unrelated. So hen we "honor their service" aren't we really just rationalizing? Otherwise we will have to admit they "died in vain". Or did they die for their leader's vanity?
