His apology was that his words were "a little bit excessive . . . a little bit over the top."
I'm still amazed that he tried to be elected president on the basis of his four months in Vietnam.
Then again, he sure couldn't run on his Senate record.

psst....the election is over, pass it on.
To address the comments in the original post, I too echo what shakran posted. Disagreeing with the war in Iraq does not equal hating the troops. After our experiences with the returning Vietnam soldiers, I don't think the American public will ever make that same mistake again.
