Who Does A Vietnam Vet VOTE For?

Gore's Military Service or Bush?
Submitted by: Loyde P. "Snake" Arender

Gore or Bush?

Gore .... I think that I might have seen "Gore" ALL over Nam, especially "In the Bush" because I vividly Remember A Lot of Marines saying: " There sure is a bunch of Blood, Guts, and GORE in the BUSH". (Or was that spelled Goar ? ) Hell, I don't know .... I was a PFC "grunt" .... WE didn't know shit until it had already happened.

So, I guess, both GORE and BUSH were in Nam, correct? I know, for a fact, that many times, I was told: "We're going to the BUSH" ... but I never saw him. Furthermore, the first time someone told me that we were going "To the BUSH' ... I thought we were going to a whore house to Get Some.

Every time that I thought I might see Gore, someone yelled: "Turn your head, Don't Look; it's Gore".... Maybe, he tried to Keep his Tour in Nam a Secret.

But like I said, Grunts don't know shit .... and now, I got to figure out whether to vote for Gore or Bush.... Damn, Life's Tuff.
