The Vietnam vets are getting old -- 65 years old or so. I see nobody since John McCain (who was in his 30s and 40s during the Vietnam War, as was often the case with aviators) touting his combat in the Vietnam War. The Vietnam War has not been good for political exploitation.
A hero general? General Norman Schwartzkopf chose to avoid partisan politics. He is no longer available, as he is no longer alive.
The next war vet to use wartime service as part of his appeal will involve one of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan -- maybe.
