Naw, but we should quit beating this dead horse. I have it on good authority
that LBJ had the Texas draft quota set so low that kids from "better"
families (like Bush) didn't need to dodge the draft - there were plenty of
lower class kids to fill Texas' quota. It follows that Junior Bush joined
the ANG for another reason, leaving poor Crawford without a village idiot.

...... Kerry chose Swift boats BEFORE Swift boats did river patrols.
When he
got to Nam and the Swift boat policy changed he wanted OUT.

That confirms what a couple buddies who drove PBRs early on told me - that
Swift Boat jockies were considered REMFs in their day.
