[QUOTE]Originally posted by Snay: [QB] Rob, Clinton's father didn't have political connections, remember? Actually, I think Clinton's dad abandoned the family. And Clinton had at the least the courage to stand by his convictions and burn his draft card. Bush didn't even have that courage. (PS -- the only Republican senators to see combat are McCain and Hagel). -Democrat Senators in the Military- * Sen. Daniel Akaka (Hawaii) - Served during World War II ('43-'47), some of that with Army Corps of Engineers. Was at Saipan and Tinian. * Sen. John Kerry (MA) - Rewarded Silver Star for actions in Vietnam (not to be confused with former Sen Bob Kerry, also a Dem, who was a SEAL during Vietnam and lost his leg in combat). [QUOTE]John Kerry entered the Navy after graduation, becoming a Swift Boat officer, serving on a gunboat in the Mekong Delta in Vietnam. He received a Silver Star, Bronze Star with Combat V, and [b]three[/b] awards of the Purple Heart for his service in combat.[/QUOTE]* Sen. Max Cleland (Georgia) - Lost both legs and one arm in Vietnam during his second tour. Awarded Silver Star and Bronze Star for meritorious service. [QUOTE]"After airborne training at Ft. Benning, Georgia and a tour as an Aide de Camp at Ft. Monmouth, New Jersey, Cleland volunteered for duty in Vietnam in 1967. In 1968, he was promoted to the rank of Captain, but was seriously wounded in a grenade explosion on April 8th of that year, costing him both legs and his right arm."[/QUOTE]* Sen. Tom Daschle (S. Dakota) - Served three years as an intelligence officer in the U.S. Air Force Strategic Air Command. * Sen. Daniel Inyoue (Hawaii) - WWII. Enlisted in March, '43 when he turned 18. Served in 442nd Regimental Combat Team. Promoted to Sergeant, and served in Italy. Recieved battlefield commission to first lieutenant after fighting in the French Vosges Mountains. Later, wounded in combat, he continued to press an attack against a machine gun nest, sustaining wounds which led to the amputation of his right arm. * Sen. Zell Miller (Georgia) - USMC '53 - '56 [QUOTE]Miller did his 12-week boot camp at Parris Island, SC, followed by time at Naval Training Station in Great Lakes, IL and the 2nd Marine Division at Camp Lejeune, NC. By the end of the three years, he had earned the rank of sergeant and was an Expert Rifleman. [/QUOTE]* Sen. Jack Reed (Rhode Island) - Graduated West Point, served '67 - '79, and as a reserve until '91. [QUOTE]Reed, an Army Ranger and a paratrooper, served in the 82nd Airborne Division as an Infantry Platoon leader, a Company Commander and a Battalion Staff Officer.[/QUOTE]* Sen. Tom Carpel (Del.) - U.S. Navy, '68 - '73, then a reserve until '91. * Sen. Jon Corzine (NJ) - USMC Reserve, '69 - '75. * Sen. Chris Dodd (Ct.) - Army Reserves, '69 - '75. * Sen. Jeff Bingaman (NM) - Army Reserves 68-74 * Sen. Herb Kohn (Wis.) - Army Reserves '58 - '64 --- So, yeah, Bush is a cowardly sack of shit to attack men who have placed their lives on the line for this nation. Fucking prick piece of shit. (PS -- Rob & Omega, when you said that Daschle was the one making this political ... that's when I decided to kick your collective asses) [/QB][/QUOTE]
