He never claimed to be a war hero, Hank.
Don't start mocking our former (and, by implication, current) servicemembers based on their MOS. Lots of soldiers not in a combat arms unit have died in all of our wars.
[I guess my point, is more that Gore's family was as wealthy and well-connected as Quayle's, much more wealthy and well-connected than Clinton's or Cheney's, and almost as wealthy and well-connected as the Bushes -- yet Gore volunteered, both for the Army and for service in Vietnam. He passed on the various deferments or NG slots that were available to him. Take it for whatever you think it is worth.]
