Brand spankingnew.
That must be a pic of the one day reporter Al Gore spent in the bush.
I think interceptor pilot trumps REMF reporter in the warrior continuum.
Gore must have had influence to land a Journalism slot on an unassigned 2 year enlistment, and to have managed to go to Vietnam only 4+ months before he was discharged.
Getting a slot to anything was impossible when you were getting ready to ETS in a matter of months.
“That must be a pic of the one day reporter Al Gore spent in the bush.”
Nope.ost certainly a posed shot taken to “prove” his credentials for his later political campaigns.....
question????? Where his buddies? I believe that Al only spent a very few months in Vietnam before Senator “Daddy” Gore had him pulled out and re-assigned back to the states...
