Run, Ross, and let the chips fall where they...
...soldier, Kerry could never have dreamed that he would later call his boss, then thousands of miles away from the Vietnam's jungles and in the comfort of the "Vite House," into a senatorial hearing to explain the greatest, strangest irony of the war: That we had to continue the war in order...
