Med has alluded to this yes and he has used it to say that he can say things that others can't. He also has said that he helped others get to canada so they didn't go to vietnam, neather gives him any extra rights here. Well I AM a vietnam vet and this gives me NO EXTRA RIGHTS nor would I want any.. Who cares where others were.If the shoe fits wear it......................I know meds a Vietnam vet, he answered the the call when his country needed him............where was Rush? Where was O'Riley? Where was Paul Wolfowitz? Where was Bill Kristol? Where was Richard Perle? Where was Dick Cheney? Where was George Bush? .........Where were they when their country needed them to step up to the plate?
