If he hadn't shown up for duty you can be sure he'd have paid the penalty.


Obviously not, because Bush wsa clearly in an unauthorized status, and he was
not held accountable. It was the '70's, the military was very unpopular, and
Bush's daddy was around to make sure no actions were taken. And Bush was in

Any idea why he declined to serve his full tour?


That's a false statement. Kerry did serve his full tour. Bush was just
allowed to walk on his obligations.




Bush hid in Texas.


Bush's location was known. He could have been sent to Vietnam at any time.

Not with his father covering his ass.


How do you feel about Bill Clinton?

Bill Clinton is not running for office.

This time around a decorated Viet Nam veteran is running against a putz who
didn't even go to OCS.
