A Tale of Two Military Records, One No Harm No Foul, The Other In Combat Smeared--Politics As Usual

 

A Tale of Two Cities it is not
But a tale of two Senators that exposes the leftist rot
Senator Blumenthal after many deferments served for six years during the Vietnam War
The closest he got to Vietnam was eating Pho at a restaurant mastering chopsticks as his service chore
Almost 9,000 miles away from South Vietnam paddies and the hell Marines endured at Khe Sanh
Nice cushy job as a Marine taking in the sites on the Mall, Lincoln Memorial or walking near the White House Lawn
Yet campaigning he claimed to have served in South Vietnam
Sadly being a Blue and shielded by MSM the claim caused him no harm
Senator Cotton volunteered after 9/11 and went to OCS
Then to graduate from Ranger School that is the epitome of pain and stress
Entitled to wear as a badge of honor the badge of a Ranger
The sort of man that you would want to lead you in times of wartime danger
A combat tour with the 101st Airborne in Iraq and a tour in Afghanistan
Godforsaken places of heat and blowing sands
Now smeared for claiming to be a Ranger in a Ranger Regiment
Double Standard as Blumenthal bragged about service in hell hole to where he was never sent
The left and Blues with their lap dogs like Salon must be on 2024 looking ahead
Fearful already of a young, energetic, mentally alert and articulate conservative Red
They know they must now begin with the smear and the lie
Weaken him and the nomination to run as a Red presidential candidate deny
