Do you think that GWB would have gone to Vietnam if he knew that he could
get sent home so easily?

Bush was a fighter pilot in a NG unit that could have been sent to Nam at
any time.

Bush failed to do his duty by failing to show up for his physical,
even though he was ordered to do so by his commanding officer. He cost
the taxpayers millions because his training was wasted.

All this is crap anyway. I enlisted in the Navy because I didn't want to
run through rice patties with bullits flying over my head and camp out in tents
with no showers. That doesn't mean I avoided anything. I went to Nam. The
Navy seemed like the smarter way to go at the time to me. Bush chose another
route. 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's on the
record.

I agree! And, there was nothing wrong with what Kerry did. He served
honorably, according to just about everyone including Bush. He was a
war hero in those few months.
