You mean like Clinton? And the way he defrauded his draft board?

There's that, and then there's Dubya who didn't honor his (cushy and
politically influenced) "commitment" to the ANG, and then lied about
his status, pay and physical examinations. Dishonesty cuts both ways,
Ken, the left doesn't have a monopoly on it.

Personally, I respect Clinton more for having the courage to get out
of fighting <snip>

Bush did 2 years of active duty, was a commissioned officer and
earned wings on the F102. That is hardly "cush". It is actually
dangerous because that plane was a notorious lead sled. He could have
been deployed at any time like the rest of us. As a vet of that era, I
have no problem with his service. Was it squeeky clean? No. (Neither
is mine). Did he muster out with an honorable discharge? Yes.

The reserves back then were a joke. I know. I was a reserve for a
while after my 4 year tour on active dute.

If you want to look into someone with questionable service, look at
Kerry's record. Why was it ten years (almost the end of the 70's)
before he was released from service and given an honorable discharge?
Why is it so hard to get a copy of Kerry's book from that era, The New
Soldier? Could it be that it is so radical in its tone that he and his
minions have bought up every copy they can find?

YMMV.
