The only thing I've seen is that Bush declined to volunteer for Viet
Nam.

Your point is? I don't think many of us actually did. Some did to
get out of
a tour in places like Korea.

Now I know Korea is a hardship posting but choosing Nam over Korea?
Isn't that somewhat extreme. And it just means some other poor *******
had to take your place

You obviously weren't stationed in Korea in the late 60s. Korat where I was
stationed in 72 -73 was a pretty plush place compared to Kunsan Korea. Sitting
a lot of nuke alert for weeks at a time wasn't an exactly exciting part of my
flying career unless one got launched and that never happende for me. .
