Little Lord Fauntleroy Goes to War
By Ann Coulter  © Human Events, 2000Answering a question in the third presidential debate about why Americans are cynical about politicians, Vice President Al Gore said: "I’d like to tell you something about me. . . . I’ve kept the faith with my country. I volunteered for the Army, I served in Vietnam."
Throughout the years, Gore has repeatedly provided the media with vivid reminiscences of his combat experiences
 in Vietnam. He told the Weekly Standard of his harrowing flights on combat helicopters: "I used to fly these things
 with the doors open, sitting on the ledge with our feet hanging down. If you flew low and fast, they wouldn’t have
 as much time to shoot you."

He told the Washington Post: "I was shot at. I spent most of my time in the field."

He told Vanity Fair magazine: "I took my turn regularly on the perimeter in these little firebases out in
 the boonies. Something would move, we’d fire first and ask questions later."


He told the Baltimore Sun: "I pulled my turn on the perimeter at night and walked through the elephant
grass and I was fired upon." He said he "carried an M-16."

Earlier this year, Gore ran campaign ads featuring photographs of himself strapped into a backpack and toting
 an M-16, recounting his vaunted service in Vietnam. The basic picture being conveyed is that upon landing in
 Vietnam, young Al Gore ripped open his blouse and shouted, "Let the bullets hit me first!"

Stop me if you’ve heard this before, but Gore is fibbing.

He was never shot at, and never fired a shot in anger. Gore’s tour of duty consisted of a five-month vacation
 in the Orient with his own Man Friday bringing him mint juleps as he typed illiterate dispatches for the Stars
 and Stripes.

During his brief five months there he carried white-out and a typewriter ribbon, not an M-16. The closest
he came to physical harm consisted of the paper cuts he risked while filing his little human interest stories.


After working on it for about a year, the Los Angeles Times finally published an article in October 1999
revealing that Gore not only never saw combat in Vietnam, but was assigned a bodyguard. Still, all the
 drinking and pot-smoking (which Gore admits to) was exhausting. After three months, he asked to go home.



Gore’s Man Friday, H. Alan Leo, was quoted saying that he was given explicit orders to keep the senator’s son
out of harm’s way: "It blew me away. I was to make sure he didn’t get into a situation he could not get out of.
They didn’t want him to get into trouble. So we went into the field after the fact, after combat actions, and that
limited his exposure to any hazards."



Not only that, but, the Times reported that several of Gore’s other colleagues "remember they were assigned
 to make sure this son of a prominent politician was never injured in the war."

After the L.A. Times article ran, the adversary press jumped in to do damage control. Soon they had Gore’s
 Man Friday on record admitting that he was technically called Gore’s "security escort"–not his "bodyguard."
 Oh, well, that’s completely different.



The press further hounded Leo into admitting that though initially he resented the privileged Little Lord Fauntleroy,
 "after I’d been around him for a while, I kind of changed my attitude–I found him to be a straight guy." (Of course
 Gore was affable, he was stoned all the time.)



And that ended the media’s interest in the story. His bodyguard says he didn’t resent Gore–let’s all go home now.

The Chicago Sun-Times reported that "Gore was occasionally taunted by soldiers who . . . felt that he got special
treatment." Huh. That’s interesting. Let’s flesh that out. Why might all these guys have fallen under the impression
that Gore was getting special treatment? (The "security escorts" perhaps?)


But the cynical reporter quickly brushed over that stunning fact with this non sequitur: "There is no evidence
that he did [receive special treatment]."


Okay, we may not have proof beyond a reasonable doubt as that phrase would be interpreted by a Bronx jury
 that Gore got special treatment in Vietnam. (Not to be confused with "I was shot at.") But no evidence? How
about the fact that his comrades clearly thought so?


By all accounts Gore "volunteered" for the Army in the summer of 1970 primarily to help his father’s do-or-die
 campaign for Senate that year. What is the difference between "volunteering" and simply "enlisting"? And why don’t
 we ever hear what draft number Gore got? Notably, even this braggart never claims he had a safe number and
 then volunteered.

The media straight-facedly recite Gore’s ludicrous claim that his family believed Nixon had postponed the orders
sending young Al to Vietnam for a couple months in order "to deny Sen. Gore any political boost from having a son
 in Vietnam on election day."

So in the middle of bombing Cambodia, establishing slush funds, opening doors to China and presumably supervising
the wiretapping of John Lennon President Nixon was making sure Young Al Gore’s deployment to Vietnam was
delayed for two months solely to deprive Sen. Gore of the incremental advantage of having his son physically present
in Vietnam. It is really sublime that Gore works in a shot at poor Nixon.

Sen. Gore did get to announce during his campaign that his son had enlisted in the Army–and did so with some
frequency. All Gore’s father missed out on was the collateral benefit of giving voters constant updates on Gore’s
progress: "His plane is leaving!" "He’s landed in Hawaii!" "Young Al has finally arrived!" ("Can I go home now?")
In the end, Gore’s father lost the election, anyway. Consequently, Gore saw no sense in hoodwinking the good
people of Tennessee with his bogus deployment any longer. Three months into his cosseted service at the "Beach
 Club,"

as his barracks was known, and Gore asked to go home.
Oh yeah, the Army grants requests like that all the time: "Can I go home?"
The normal tour of duty is 12 months. Gore’s request was granted the next day. He was told he would be
permitted to leave in two months’ time. (Incidentally, why didn’t the eternally vengeful Nixon thwart Gore’s
early return from Vietnam?)


The hard-hitting adversary press have accepted at face value Gore’s claim that he was allowed to leave after
only five months because the war was coming to an end.While it’s true the war was slowing down, it wasn’t
over. Liberals ought to remember this with some clarity. They were the ones burning down buildings in response
 to Nixon’s letting the war drag on through half of his term after having promised to end it.

As of 1972 the year after Gore’s "can I leave?" request was granted there were still 70,000 American men in
South Vietnam.The fact that the war was slowing down is presumably small consolation to the mothers whose
 sons would have been laughed at if they had raised their hands and asked to go home. Still, Gore continually
boasts that he "volunteered for the Army" because "I knew if I didn’t, somebody else in the small town of
Carthage, Tenn., would have to go in my place."

No. Nobody else in Carthage would have had a bodyguarder, "security escort" and nobody from Carthage
 would have had the temerity to ask to go home after three months.

The media are perfectly willing to impute a two month delay in Gore’s deployment to some grave Nixonian
 conspiracy, but Gore’s cushy job, bodyguard, and rapid exit strategy when Dad loses provide no basis for
 any paranoid inference that Gore was subject to special treatment as a senator’s son. ("Can I go home now?")
On this point, there is "no evidence."

Can you imagine a right-wing Republican trying to pass off this squalid arrangement as just the luck of the draw?
 If Gore had the dignity to keep his mouth shut about the special treatment he received, it would almost be tolerable.
But he boasts about his acts of bravery in war, droning on about his fictitious combat experience.

Just like Former President Ronald Reagan ED

 The privileged little Lord Fauntleroy is fully aware that the Viet Cong was about as likely to take a shot at him
 then as the adversary press is now.© Human Events, 2000

At least Senators Cleland (D-GA), Kerry (D-MA), Kerrey (D-NE), Robb (D-VA) and Hagel
* Representative Wayne Gilchrest (R-MD), served in USMC in Vietnam; wounded in action.
* Colin Powell. What are we to make of Powell? On the one hand, a long career as a military manager.
On the other hand, accused of covering up the My Lai massacre. Back on that first hand, one of the
seemingly sane voices in this administration when it comes to Iraq (or at least he used to be).

On the other hand, a clear hypocrite ("I am angry that so many of the sons of the powerful
and well-placed... managed to wangle slots in Reserve and National Guard units...")
