each other. again, i don't want to be nostalgic about it. then you cut to vietnam and you have people getting their way out. remember the great john fogerty song "fortunate son." there were people who could buy their way out. fogerty wrote that song because he was watching julie nixon marrying david eisenhauer. he realized eisenhower wouldn't be affected by this. that was the ambient reality of the time. my own family story is fairly representative. my -- both my grand fathers fought in the second world war, my father fought in vietnam and i didn't serve. that's a fairly common story. >> yeah. as we mark this very important day, memorial day, a major milestone has been reached at west point. this year the u.s. military academy graduated a record-setting number of african-american women cadets.
