Far be it for me to defend Dan Rather....but he didn't make that statement. The gent he was interviewing did.

Quoted from pins4fun:Dan Rather, who is 81 now and still reporting, has always been an exemplary journalist, with much mettle, guts, and fortitude.
Here's an excerpt:
"Here it is, on a coat hook in midtown Manhattan: the Army-issue green shirt, with “CBS NEWS” written in white letters on the ID tag, that Dan Rather wore in 1966 while hunkered down in rice paddies along the Cambodian border. It would be one of the legendary network anchor’s most famous assignments: dispatching dramatic reports on the Vietnam conflict for millions of Americans sitting down to the evening news. In 16mm films you can see him, young and square-jawed, hair thick and black, barking into a microphone and recoiling from machine guns that rat-a-tat-tat behind him."
Not sure what your point is, since my primary goal with the comment was to correct who said what about sexually frustrated pinball players.
