"One would think Rep Rick McCormick (R-GA) would know better"

Let's provide Rich McCormick with a learning opportunity. Stand him in front of one end of the Vietnam Wall, armed with a set of knee pads, clutching a bucket of sudsy water in one hand and a toothbrush in the other. He can clean each name on each panel. Top to bottom, all the way, looking up each name on his telephone and learning something about every one of them. When he's done, McCormick can return his equipment and report back on what - if anything - he learned.
