He enlisted in the Marine Reserves and attended law school, but his
education was interrupted when he was called to active duty for the
Korean conflict. Pat Robertson's father was a US senator who intervened
with the Marine Corps to have his son assigned to duty in the rear, away
from combat. Robertson served in Korea as the "liquor officer" --
responsible for keeping the officers' clubs supplied with liquor. There
he also was known to drink himself and to frequent prostitutes -- he
even feared that he had contracted gonorrhea.
California Congressman Pete McCloskey, who also served in Korea,
remembered hearing Robertson brag that his father, the Senator, "had
gotten him out of combat duty".
During the 50s and 60s he was a staunch supporter of Jim Crow Laws in
the South. |
