Recently retired general Wesley Clark has made news lately by saying that John McCain’s experience in the military, which includes being shot down in Vietnam and spending seven years being tortured in captivity by Vietnamese socialists, doesn’t qualify him to be President. Which is something I actually agree with.
But what’s interesting is that in 2004, when Clark was praising then-Democrat Presidential nominee John Kerry, he said that Kerry’s service in Vietnam, which included putting himself in for medals and then throwing those medals (but not the ribbons!) away during an anti-war protest, qualified him to be President.
I’m sensing a bit of hypocrisy here, aren’t you?
