Probably more than likely I’m willing to bet good money he did not.
Should you care?
Depends on how much time you have.
But seriously, this nonsense is a total waste of time internet meme/fad. Get a life. Go read a book.
Way to be part of a collectivist meme. Way to fall in line with everyone else and go along the get along.
Hunter S. Thompson called the baby boomers the generation of swine. I think we might be the generation of fools.

Massachusetts Senator Edward "Ted" Kennedy (D) has passed away from complications from cancer while still in office. NPR and other outlets are practically worshiping him on the airwaves right now with constant stories of all these wonderful laws he passed and health insurance reform for Massechusetts (statewide universal care). But there are few facts that I think people need to remember about this man.
Ted Kennedy left someone for dead, then proceeded to lie about it and cover it up.
Ted Kennedy opposed semi-free market health care reform in favor of single payer during the Nixon administration. These battles for control of business and industry have been carried on for decades.
It’s sad he died. Cancer is a terrible thing. But let’s keep the sympathy for career politicians to a minimum. It only makes us accept the bad elements of the state even more. I’m sure he meant well in his oligarichial reign of 4 plus decades thus proving that unseating an incumbent is next to impossible especially if your last name is Kennedy.

I in no way would ever do or say anything to dishonor the actual members of the American military. They do a perfectly good job themselves sometimes. Do not mistake what I just wrote as a blanket statement about every single member of the military throughout history as you would also be wrong. I am merely saying that I morally disaprove actions that involve killing people.
Ever year you get the flag wavers who praise the military and while they truly believe that they are behind a just cause involving just actions, make no mistake, there is nothing just about most of America’s “police actions”. I say police actions because most military skirmishes have been done so without a declaration of war. War has not been declared since World War II. Ever.
Rather than spewing forth a bunch of opinion I thought I would just direct you to some interesting reading to ponder over before you bar-b-que today.
