“Anyone who's ever listened to off-the-cuff remarks by U.S. Sen. John Cornyn over the past couple of dozen years has probably heard him talk about how his dad piloted a B-17 in World War II and was shot down and then held captive in a German prisoner of war camp until the Allied forces defeated the Nazis.”
Cornyn also avoided serving by seeking student deferment. So, of course, he uses his dad’s story.
This is the Republican way.
