8. Did Anyone Question Dole in the 96 Race about his injuries, etc.

NO, WE DID NOT.

We recognized that he was a decorated veteran who lost the use of his arm and, therefore, we didn't question him. I don't think that Clinton would have in any regard.

I agree with you that it takes away from every serviceman's record to question the Armed Forces decisions to distribute medals and ribbons. My father served in post-WWII in Europe and has many medals and ribbons. He didn't see much action and was never close to being injured, yet he served his country and they decided what he deserved - not him.

Makes me furious too.
