re: Got to thinking
It will be interesting to see how the veterans and active duty soldiers end up voting this year.
I think a mandate for either candidate from soldiers actually doing the fighting would be seriously worth pointing out.
It should be remembered when tallying them up, though, that Vietnam veterans and current active duty military each have widely varying motivations for their opinions. The reason the Vietnam vet may hate or support Kerry is probably totally different from the reasons of the Marine in Iraq.
