4.  Gore opposed the Vietnam War, but said that his
sense of civic duty compelled him to enlist in the U.S.
Army in August 1969. After basic training, Gore was
assigned as a military journalist writing for The Army
Flier, the base newspaper at Fort Rucker.
 Gore's father was defeated for re-election to the U.S.
Senate in November 1970, largely due to his liberal
positions on many issues such as the Vietnam War and
Civil Rights.
 With seven months left in his enlistment, Gore was
shipped to Vietnam, arriving in January 1971. He
served with the 20th engineer Brigade in Bien Hoa
and at the Army Engineer Command in Long Binh.

5.  In 1988, Gore made a bid for the Democratic
nomination for the presidency. He won five
southern states on Super Tuesday, but
eventually lost to Michael Dukakis. Gore
remained in the Senate until presidential
candidate Bill Clinton chose him as his
running mate in 1992. They were elected into
office that year and re-elected in 1996.

6.  In his 2000 presidential
BUSH GORE
campaign, Gore won the
Democratic presidential
nomination after facing
down an early challenge
from former Senator Bill
Bradley.
Gore chose Senator Joseph Lieberman of Connecticut as his
running mate, the first Orthodox Jew ever to be named on the
ticket for a major national party. Gore won the popular vote,
but conceded defeat to Republican George W. Bush after five
weeks of complex legal argument over the voting procedure in
the presidential election.

7.  On December 10, 2007, Gore accepted a Nobel
Prize for work on global warming. In accepting
the prize, he urged the world's biggest carbon
emitters, China and the U.S., to "make the
boldest moves, or stand accountable before
history for their failure to act." Gore shared the
prize with the Intergovernmental Panel on
Climate Change (IPCC) for sounding the alarm
over global warming and spreading awareness
on how to counteract it.

8. Recent Projects
 In 2005, Gore founded a liberal news channel called
Current TV with Joel Hyatt. The cable network
eventually grew to reach more than 60 million
households across the United States. Gore announced
in January 2013 that Current TV was to going to be
sold to Al-Jazeera, an Arab news network. According
to the Associated Press, Gore said Current TV and Al-
Jazeera shared a common mission "to give voice to
those who are not typically heard; to speak truth to
power; to provide independent and diverse points of
view; and to tell the stories that no one else is telling."
