Reply #10: Teddy Roosevelt wasn't a war hero then. Or Eisenhower.

[Julien Sorel]

Or Harry Truman. Or George Washington. Or John Kennedy. Or Andrew Jackson. Or Zack Taylor. Or Rutherford Hayes. Or... Well, you get the point. All of these men were either war heroes, or men whose military prowess played a major role in their political careers. But I guess JFK, popping so many pain pills it nearly killed him, just to make it through the day because of injuries he'd suffered in war, wasn't really a war hero. I guess Eisenhower, who ran his campaign largely around his promise to fix Korea, wasn't really a war hero.

Frauds all, these presidents. Now George Bush -- there's a war hero. I never felt safer in my life than I did once I found out George W. Bush used to fly CAP on the U.S. - Mexican border, looking to intercept stray Mexican donkeys and blast them to smithereens.
