So if there not a veteran, it's fair game?

Ted Kennedy was a veteran.

Well, sort of. Right after he was expelled from Harvard for cheating, he
enlisted for four years, then got the old man to get his hitch shortened
to two. While most Army recruits were headed to Korea and other hot
spots, Kennedy went to France. After two years service, he was still a
Private.



Give the guy credit for whatever amount of time he was willing to spend
serving his country. I heard on one of the news wires it was more like 16
months.

OMIGAWD, I'd rather spend four years in country with the LURPs in Nam than
do sixteen months in France. Ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!
