In order to raise the normal troops self esteem I'll give them berets.
Right around that time they also started filling out fitreps with a purple marker...

The VA “Death Book” is wicked and must be disposed of itself.

“UPDATED2: No, Obama’s VA did NOT pull so-called ‘Death Book’ from website”

He also communicated with the Soviets during the Reagan presidency to stifle the administration.

Nope, you have to be KIA or have a PH, MOH, Silver Star, etc or be retired military to get buried at Arlington as a vet, so he wouldn’t get buried there from his two years of service alone. He’s getting buried there because he was a senator...anyone who held elected office of the US government can be buried there.

"Ted served two years in the US Army stationed in Paris. He rose to the rank of Private."

That was his daddy's punishment for getting kicked out of Harvard for cheating. He actually wrote a book about his military exploits, "30 Seconds Over Brigitte Bardot".

entered a Private and discharged a Private.

Only the first two ranks, E-1 and E-2 are known as "privates".

Private First Class or E-3 was Ted's rank when he left the military, he was not still a private.

Fine.

Entered a Private and discharged a Private First Class.

Stands corrected.

I had received that original designation from someone I thought knew.

Ted Kennedy was a veterans' hero for two reasons:

1) Because he didn't stay in the service long enough to get any real men killed.

2) Because no real men were court marshaled for righteously fragging their own treasonous officer.

As a veteran he is entitled to a military honor guard and interment at Arlington if he desires it.

That used to be true for all Veterans, but no longer. Now only connected Vets get that honor. They had to dig some crony of Clintons up after it became public knowledge, don't remember the name though.

Ain't the internet grand...

Larry Lawrence, who contributed more than $200,000 to the Democrats between 1991 and 1996, became a close personal friend to the Clintons. The president and first lady sometimes vacationed with Lawrence and stayed at his house in San Diego San Diego (săn dēā`gō), city (1990 pop. 1,110,549), seat of San Diego co., S Calif., on San Diego Bay; inc. 1850. San Diego includes the unincorporated communities of La Jolla and Spring Valley. Coronado is across the bay. . Clinton appointed his pal ambassador to Switzerland and delivered a eulogy at his funeral.
