Q: You're one of a growing number of Republicans who have lately accused President Bush of botching the war in Iraq.
If someone says I am a disloyal Republican because I am not supporting my party, let them say it. War is bigger than politics.
You, John McCain and John Kerry are the only current U.S. senators who served in Vietnam.
I got to Vietnam in December of 1967, and I was wounded twice with my brother Tom, who was with me. I still have some shrapnel in my chest that the doctors never took out. The second time my face was burned pretty bad, and I had both eardrums blown out.
