For his combat service in Viet Nam he is a brother. For his testimony before the United States Senate, Committee on Foreign Relations in 1971 he is a traitor. The latter trumps the former. The man is not fit to be Secretary of Latrines, let alone Secretary of State.

It is, indeed, a house of cards.
