BUSH’S MILITARY SERVICE RECORD

A person’s military service record was an issue until November of 1992, when the American people voted that war service records were unimportant. The country elected a President who wrote in a letter that he “loathed the military” and didn’t want to serve in any capacity.

Democrats like John Kerry were quick to defend Clinton’s “principled stand” of not serving. Today’s standard seems to be that all men who didn’t serve in the same capacity as John Kerry let their country down. Bush is getting the same flack that Dan Quayle got for serving in the National Guard. That National Guard troops fought and died in Vietnam is never mentioned. Does it really matter what Bush’s attendance records were when we know that Clinton was absent.

Wait! Now the Democrats have a candidate that served combat in Vietnam, we want that sort of stuff to count again. Too late, you sold that issue down the river. Military service can’t have a relative value according to what the Democrat happened to do.
