Of the many tragedies of Vietnam, this raw class discrimination strikes me as the most damaging to the ideal that all Americans are created equal and owe equal allegiance to their country."

Ummm... Gore isn't running for office.
Powell isn't saying Bush shouldn't be President because of it either. Jeremy posted this because a Republican is denouncing something another Republican benefited from. The point is lots of people benefited from this discrimination so why is it a political issue now? It isn't. It is just a gleeful jab at Bush.
Want me to quote Zell Miller on Kerry?
Well I guess the point then is that neither party is going there...
Perhaps my memory is failing but weren't the Republicans falling over themselves to make it a political issue against Clinton? There's a nice symmetry there.Originally Posted by MrJoshua
Which is exactly my point. It is a non-issue because it has been beaten to death by both sides.
