Leaving apart the silliness of this particular poster criticizing the 'prejudice' on this newsboard, I want to make it clear that I'm not, by any stretch of the imagination, criticizing Nixon for not seeing service: he did the job he was assigned to do. I was wrong in recalling that Nixon served in California, I admit.
What bothers me about Nixon is that he then came back and used his war-record to win his first Congressional election, claiming that he was a combat veteran who was exposed to danger while his opponent stayed safe at home. Nixon was a veteran, NOT a combat veteran.
