Could the Press Grow a Spine?

Fact: Kerry went to war. Bush didn't.


Ed mentioned Orwell. It's orwellian to belittle the hero and laud the
shirker.

Walt, pay attention, Ed did NOT belittle Kerry. He simply pointed out that you
keep repeated things about Bush's service record that he has refuted.

Putting words in his mouth only makes your arguments more foolish than they
already are.

No one can refute the chronilogical record of service of Bush's that is now
part of the public record.

I was in the reserves myself. I know how this works. Every member has a
chronilogical record of service. It's a "standard" page in the SRB/OCR or
whatever the equivilent is in the Army/Air Force.

Donald Segretti, Nixon's agent of "Dirty Tricks" (for which he served time in
prison) cannot refute it. His assistant, Karl Rove (and current White House
communications director) cannot refute it. No one can come forward -now- and
say they saw Bush then-- when the record from -then- dictates that he DID NOT
accrue any points for service as required by law.

Strictly speaking, Bush is a deserter -- that case could be made legally. And
there is no statute of limitations on desertion.

Aha! You dodged the draft by going into the reserves just as many have accused
Bush of doing by going into the guard.

Actually, I joined the Marine Corps the day I turned 18.

Oh lookie, a gen-you-wine GI. Ooooh, I'm SOOO impressed.

Look, whether Bush served as much or as little as he said is of no import. At
least he never stabbed us in the back as did Kerry. And he did serve in the
TANG.

I get rather tired of people saying their service was more important than
someone else's. For every me, Ed or Art there were a bunch of nameless,
faceless slobs that supported us.

How about pretty much every single person serving in the military during
the late '60s and early '70s.
