Sort of like Clinton, and his sterling military service. Or like FDR and all the time he spent in uniform. Or maybe even like you. Where were your tours of combat?

At least he served in the military even if it was only the National Guard. Clinton dodged the draft by heading overseas. I really don't think it would be a bad idea to make it a requirement of holding the office that you served at least one tour of active duty in the military. Neither of our last two presidents could truly appreciate what it is like to be in the military yet they had the ability to send our soldiers to war.

Whatever it is, its sure whole lot more then Clinton offered or experienced. Have you personally ever tried to be a fighter pilot? It takes a horse of a different breed and more guts then most including you my friend.

Yes. He got his combat experiance through osmosis. Kind of like in 1979, Reagan claimed that he was a combat vet and that he was there when the first concentration camps were liberated, then it was found out that he saw it on news reels. And then there was Rush "boil on his butt" Limbaugh, that gave the implication that he was a Marine veteran, by wearing the globe and anchor on his lapel.

No I think Mr Bush really thinks he flew combat missions, and that he really is a modern day cowboy, the man I believe is truly sick in the head, remember he has said more than once god talks to him, hell the guy has to appoint the dumbest people to his cabinet, just so he can walk into the room and feel like he is the smartest guy in there!

Ironic, the chimp vetoes funding and timetables for the troops 4 years to the day when he stated Mission was accomplished...Chimpy McFlighsuit is a hero though

Poor little Bushie. Did you see his face when he was told about 9-11? I wonder if he had to change his underwear.
