Is W. Bush a Hypocrite for hiding from Vietnam but sending people to Iraq?

Question

Especially if he checked the box {do not volunteer for service overseas} when he was given the red carpet ride over the waiting list into the National Guard spot.

And then while in Harvard, he criticized people who were against the war.

Is this the HEIGHT of hypocrisy?

Answer 1

Doesn't it just make you want to PUKE?

Answer 2

While Republicans have the more hawkish reputation...
Democrats have
Declared war in 2 world wars, Vietnam, Korea, and 44 different locales during Clinton's reign alone. They support leftist tyrants the world over, and have done so since the end of the 2nd world war. (Read:FDR and Uncle Joe Stalin)
Have twice pushed for creation and membership in a world government, which is certain to destroy our independence if we let it.
Have pushed socialist programs for over a century. Have centralized power and the economy.
And you can ask this leading question, answering it yourself half way through. You probably know as well as I do that he didn't hide from Vietnam. His record is far from impressive of course, but that he hid was the story blurted by Dan Rather. You remember how that movie ended right? Yeah I thought you did.
If you are looking to be a writer, or any sort of opinion changer, I suggest looking into another career.
Yawn.

Answer 3

A hypocrite and then some. How often have you seen him doing anything other than taking credit for stuff - remember "Mission Accomplished?" He was a coward back then, he's a coward now. Stand him alongside legitimate American war heroes like John McCain and John Kerry - both of whom served honorably in VietNam - and Bush is about 2 inches tall.

Answer 4

I wonder if when he decided to join the NG during Vietnam, he ever considered the possibility that he would be President of the United States someday and have the responsibility of managing the security of this country and the stability of the world.

Answer 5

This subject usually sends me into a rage but today I'm quite mellow. All I can say is that George W. Bush is a yellow-bellied, chicken-sh*t coward. How come no one from his clan of children, neices, nephews are serving in the military? They all take after chicken-sh*t George. It's much better to spill other peoples blood for his pleasure.

Answer 6

Yes, him and several of his cabinet, the vice president, and many of the congresspeople these days as well.

they are also hypocrites for claiming that the democrats want to spend too much money, when they have a terrible run-away spending problem and record-setting budget deficits and national debt.

there are several other reasons why they are hypocrites, but the answer to your question directly is:

YES, HE'S A HUGE HYPOCRITE.

Answer 7

Was Clinton a hypocrite for sending our troops to the Balkans on that illegal war for hiding from Vietnam?

Answer 8

If that was the worst thing that Bush did to the American people I would let it slide. He is impeacheble and you should write everyone to do so. If I had my way, he'd be the first president to spend in jail during or right after office.

Answer 9

The only think that i have to say about Bush is i cant wait to be 2008. Adios Bush never come back.

Answer 10

What Clinton? Hiding in England and then putting our troops under a foreign commander?

Answer 11

Hes much more than that! He's an oil man making money off of the war, killing our troops just like most GOPs do.
