McCain's lofty position also has held true for Kerrey. The former Nebraska Senator later lost part of a leg when a grenade exploded under him, part of an action for which he was awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor. From this side of the Pacific, the straightforward story of a bemedalled, wounded hero resonated easily with a public which would rather not face up to the fact that Vietnam wasn't a replay of World War II - the so-called "Good War" - but a messy, muddled civil conflagration that could not be fought without compromising the values America cherished...

And Chafee may yet yield to the hard party sell: "The President feels strongly about it, and that was conveyed," Chafee said Monday...
