It is a fact that he could have volunteered-he wasn't forced into the national guard-he was real quick to commit our kids to this war-but as a young man he did not have the patriotism to fight in Vietnam-these are facts-there is no way to put a spin on it. Oh yea I know Clinton did not go either.

Right. Why didn't Clinton, Neut Gingrech why didn't any of them?
You have to hand it to Kerry and McCain, at least they are not chicken hawks.
I think it was pretty sick to actually attack Kerry's service in Vietnam by someone who avoided it all together!!!

Many people who did not want to risk being drafted into front line duty, signed up in less risky areas. It would have been a real kicker to see what he would have done if they would have sent the National Guard to fight in that war like they are in this one. This is said in no way to degrade the service of past National Guard service people because they do a vital job and important job. It's just known that they are not usually sent overseas to front line positions. They are supposed to be here.

Why should anybody care?
The troops certainly don't think that what somebody did or did not do in Vietnam has any bearing on their qualification to be president.

Because military service isn't for the elite class. You wouldn't want him hanging around with all those guys from poor neighborhoods, would you?
He also probably realized that bad leaders were being fragged over there as well.
BTW, Gore was there too.
