        The irony is that McG was painted as a frightened peacenik, when in fact he was a decorated war hero.

        This was so disappointing. Tom Eagleton was a great public servant.

        77% of voters polled said then that Eagleton's mental illness would not have changed their vote.

        I was in the USMC at the time and supported McGovern in no small part to his heroic service in WWII as a B-24 bomber pilot and commander.

        We could have saved ourselves a lot of trouble by electing McGovern. No Watergate scandal. Health care wouldn't have become for-profit mess.

        Often overlooked was that McGovern was a genuine War Hero in WW11
