But he didn't go to Viet Nam anyway, so would that have affected GB Jr?

Besides, you can't have it both ways, either he was a good pilot, was
not AWOL, and the service *still* didn't want him.... or he wasn't good

How you people can look at the plain facts and conclude that GB Jr is
worthy of being elected dog catcher, much less President, is beyond me.
