Gore was only 19 years old and worked for the US Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency instead of being in Vietnam collecting 3 purple stars for nothing more then scratches, and had to beg for them. I had friends that lost limbs over there and never got a purple heart! So I guess he was uncover doing the Internet research. What's really funny is later when his folly had been laughed at and scorned by the general public he came up with this bit of comedy to make us all laugh and go gee it was a silly mistake: "I was pretty tired when I made that comment because I had been up very late the night before inventing the camcorder." wow. I remember once in college I had been up for 24 hours straight and a teacher asked me about what I did before attending college, in my tired state I said, "I was inventing the car"; Then later say I said that because I was tired...I've never been that tired to say something as stupid as that and neither was Gore.
