    Mr Kristofferson …
    Mr Kristofferson was in the 8th Infantry in Germany during the early sixties. He did fly helecopters and was trained as an Army Ranger. He got out of the Army in ’65 and continued his music career.

    He did not serve in Vietnam but he did serve with honor which is what your point is anyway. I am positive had he served with us in Vietnam (Marine Infantry here) he would have done his duty. Unlike the shrub and DICK.

    Regardless, Mr Kristofferson is a giant among us.
