As TBogg is rightly mentioning, Morton Blackwell, the man who has organized the purple heart band-aids at the RNC is yet another Chickenhawk. Considering the fact that Blackwell is giving jabs to Kerry, Blackwell apparently had other priorities as well during the war. Apparently being a College Republican and then a Young Republican in the National Committee was given priority over military service. I can't say that I would have been keen to go to Vietnam back then but this punk ought to be exposed. I have already sent an email to CNN asking them to offer his full background so we can all join in on the joke. Visit here to send your comments to CNN. Maybe one day we will again have a media that investigates instead of repeating what these people want repeated.
That isn't to say that Morton hasn't had some experience with militaries:
Blackwell has also trained rightist political forces in Latin America and Africa(19) through IPF, notably supporters of the Pinochet military dictatorship, Argentinean rightists, and supporters of Inkatha chief Buthelezi in South Africa.
