Because, according to a recent Los Angeles Times report that the rest of the press pretended not to notice, Gore's Vietnam tour of duty was notable mainly for the special treatment he received; a "handle with care" order that required bodyguards to keep the senator's son from getting hurt. "Several of his (Vietnam) colleagues remember they were assigned to make sure this son of a prominent politician was never injured in the war," reported Times correspondent Richard Serrano, in a lengthy piece headlined, "Struggle With Conscience was Gore's Biggest Vietnam Battle." "Other soldiers with long experience in Vietnam said that Gore was treated differently from his fellow enlistees," Serrano noted. "Two of them recalled that before Gore arrived Brig. General Kenneth B. Cooper advised them that a senator's son would be joining the outfit. "H. Alan Leo said soldiers were ordered to serve as Gore's bodyguards, to keep him out of harm's way.

Bush had his daddy get him into the Guard, Buchanan "doctor shopped" and got an exemption for a phony bum knee. Gore ENLISTED and VOLUNTEERED for Nam. He did this because his father was a vocal war critic and he didn't want to have anyone accuse him as using that as an out from doing his duty. ----- Aloha, He'Ping, Om, Shalom, Salaam.
