The Vermont auditor is serving in Iraq. The guy is unable to campaign for his job because of military prohibition on political activity. His Republican opponent, a Viet Nam vet, dropped out of the race out of respect for the auditorsservice.Yes, there some are good folks in politics.

"With Tom Salmon being deployed to a combat zone, I just did not feel it was at all appropriate to enter into a contest against someone in that situation," said Brock, who is a Vietnam veteran.
"You clearly could not conduct any kind of dialogue, given the restrictions placed on someone like that. Just as a matter of right and wrong, here's someone who's serving his country in a combat zone, and I don't feel at all comfortable engaging in a political contest and I wouldn't do it," said Brock.
