It's not often (if ever) a recipient of the Medal of Honor is also a published poet. But retired Green Beret John Duffy turned his trial-by-fire into an epic poem of the Vietnam War.
It was a brutal battle; no quarter asked, none given. You killed the enemy or the enemy killed you.
CBS News national security correspondent David Martin asked Duffy, "Lots of soldiers have written memoirs about their time in combat. You chose to write poetry. Why?"

Washington — Rep. Don Bacon, a Nebraska Republican, said Sunday that he has "beginning support" in the House for forthcoming legislation that would give Congress more authority over tariffs and trade policy amid concerns on Wall Street and on Capitol Hill after President Trump announced far-reaching new tariffs last week.

Ever since President Trump took office, surrounded by some of the richest men in the world, Senator Bernie Sanders has been sounding the alarm: "This country today faces an unprecedented level of danger, something that I've never seen in my lifetime," he said. "We are a nation that is moving rapidly toward oligarchy, which means that we have a government run by the billionaire class, for the billionaire class."
