President Bush was a fighter pilot in the Texas Air National Guard during the Vietnam War. In case you have not noticed, people in the National Guard can be sent in to action overseas if they are required. He not only showed up but over attended most of his training for the majority of his time. Near the end of his hitch, the plane he was trained to fly was obsoleted and his time was too short to make re-training him in the new planes worthwhile.
That and his accumulation of so many points earlier in his Air National Guard trainning allowed him to be excused from some sessions and still meet his commitment. This was not an unusual occurance in the National Guard.
What is more, the media knows this yet it is in their personal interest to mislead the public about it. Funny, but even if President Bush only served one day in the military it was one day more than Bill Clinton (who illegally dogged the draft and did not serve at all) yet that hardly raised an eyebrow among the news media.
Why do you suppose that is?

If you already know the answer, then why are you asking? There were a lot of people who served during the Vietnam War. Many never went to Vietnam----heck many never left the U.S. Many serve in National Gaurd units and Reserve units and only went to meeting one weekend a month and 2 weeks summer camp. Did they not serve during Vietnam?

BW is currently serving in the Global War on Terrorism. He is the Commander In Chief of the Armed forces.
If you want to get technical, he signed up and served in the National Guard. Bill Clinton however fled to England and renounced his US citizenship to avoid serving the country. He must just have been better than all the other brave men and women who were called upon by the country to fight for freedom.

Goodness, it's Monday morning and who gives a rats a*s, serving in a war or combat zone is not a prerequisite for being commander and chief.

He didn't. Neither did any of his goverment, with the exception of Colin Powell. Whatever happened to the days where our leaders led the charge into battle? I guarantee there would be less war if our President had to be on the front lines.
