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.

So, do you know because you've been the hooker or been serviced by one

Only in my homosexual dreams.

A recruiter for the Texas ANG (at the time) told me that LBJ had adjusted
Texas' draft quota so that it could easily be filled without drafting any
privileged kids like Bush so there was so little fear of being drafted to
'nam that, unlike other states, there was no line to get into the ANG and
that the ANG was advertising for anyone willing to take an officer billet
with a 2-year committment. I believe it given LBJ's perchance for pulling
strings for Texas.

Totally untrue! The only "line" to get in the NG was for inlisted men.
Bush
was an officer. There was no "line" of officers to jump ahead in. Another
piece of false information.

Where do you get this crap?? I know... Karl Rove.

Crap? I was alive at the time.

Big ****ing deal. So the big shot didn't show up for a physical. No money was
wasted on training because the physical was to qualify Bush for an aircraft
that was not available.
A more important question is why won't Kerry sign the form to release his
service records. And why was he given a discharge 20 years after he completed
his service????????????

No doubt, but all the facts available contradict your statements,
unless you got them from the RNC and/or Karl by proxy.

"If there's no wind, row."

This is called being able to predict the future.

No it's not. It's called a plan to enter public life and not work for a
living. By the way Kerry should give back his salary for 2004. He hasn't
participated in ONE vote for the people he represents. Others who have run for
office have resigned their seat.

You're understanding would be wrong.

Could be? That's a profound statement. Is that all you got?

Bull****! There was no waiting line for officers to get in the NG. Period.

A very big ****ing deal, actually.

There were plenty of aircraft. He used that as an excuse to not show
up.

Kerry, on the other hand, was a war hero. Bush, on the other hand, was
a drunk, and he was probably afraid of what the physical (including
the blood test that had just started being used) would reveal.
Apparently, not only was he a drunk, but was into cocaine. Laura was
selling pot, which is probably a good thing.
