Controversies

Military Service and Presidential Fitness

On May 22, 2008 Senator Harkin was quoted by several media sources as having questioned Senator John McCain's fitness for the presidency based upon both his and his family's military service. The Des Moines Register quoted him as saying “I think he’s trapped in that. Everything is looked at from his life experiences, from always having been in the military, and I think that can be pretty dangerous. ” In total, 33 of the 43 United States Presidents have had military service, including George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, Theodore Roosevelt,and Harry Truman. Ten of these have held the rank of Brigadier General or higher, and only 3 of the 33 performed their military service exclusively in times of peace.

Wellstone memorial service

Following the death of Harkin's friend and colleague Senator Paul Wellstone in a 2002 plane crash while running for reelection, Harkin participated in a nationally televised memorial service for Wellstone and the other victims of the accident, Wellstone's wife, daughter, and three campaign aides. Paul David Wellstone ( July 21, 1944 – October 25, 2002) was a two-term U In the eulogy, Harkin urged the crowd to “stand up for Paul" and talked about “passing on Paul's legacy” and to win the 2002 Senate election “For Paul” — statements that drew loud cheers and were interpreted by some as overt political references and inappropriate for a memorial service. [6][7][8]

Vietnam combat missions

While running for his Senate seat in 1984, and again while running for the Democratic presidential nomination in 1992, Harkin has faced criticism for claiming that he had flown combat missions over North Vietnam. The Democratic Republic of Vietnam (DRVN or less commonly Vietnamese Democratic Republic (Việt Nam Dân Chủ Cộng Hòa was a Country on the northern half of Vietnam In a 1979 round table discussion with other Congressional Veterans, Harkin said of his service as a Navy pilot: "One year was in Vietnam. I was flying F-4s and F-8s on combat air patrols and photo-reconnaissance support missions". These comments were later published in a 1981 book by David Broder. David S Broder (born September 11, 1929) is a Pulitzer Prize -winning Journalist, Author, television talk show pundit, After subsequent inquiries by Barry Goldwater and The Wall Street Journal[9], Harkin clarified that that he had been stationed in Japan and sometimes flew recently repaired aircraft on test missions over Vietnam. His service flying F-4s and F-8s was later, while he was stationed in Cuba.

Marijuana

In response to a letter from a medicinal marijuana patient who asked Harkin to justify why medicinal cannabis is still illegal even after the American College of Physicians publicly backed rescheduling of cannabis and the protection of patients who use it for medicinal purposes, Harkin noted it should remain illegal in part due to the small child whose parents are so addicted to illegal drugs they "sell everything including perhaps their own children to obtain a fix. The American College of Physicians (ACP is a national organization of doctors of Internal medicine (internists physicians who specialize in the prevention detection and treatment "[10]
