"It's an insult to everyone who did serve to question those who were there "

That's a myth eagerly propagated by those who dislike being questioned! I'm for questioning everyone and looking closely at everything they do when they offer themselves in the political arena.

I'm a vet, and as a vet understand that any war, or any branch of service, has a WIDE spectrum of people participating. Thos people are capable of the whole range of human conduct, and someone may be a hero one day and a dirtbag the next, or the opposite, or be like most folks who fall somewhere in-between.

On another note, watch out for fake heros and fake war records. It happens with every war, so if a news story or resume crosses your desk, get the truth.
REAL veterans will be glad you cared to check!
