FYI, Scarborough.

On a recent show blabberhawk Joe Scarborough tried to compare his journalistic cred to Walter Cronkite's (video at TalkLeft):

I don't know if Walter Cronkite served in World War II or the Korean War, but Walter Cronkite can come on and talk about the Tet offensive...

So here you go, Joe. From the Museum of Broadcast Communications:

...in 1939 Cronkite joined United Press (UP) to cover World War II. There, as part of what some reporters fondly called the "Writing 69th," he went ashore on D-Day, parachuted with the 101st Airborne, flew bombing mission over Germany, covered the Nuremburg trials, and opened the UP's first post-war Moscow bureau.
