And only got to use it because he hid out in ROTC until the
danger of being called up had passed.


Clinton was never in ROTC. He made a commitment to ROTC but reneged on it.



When it comes to reneging Bush is king of the hill. At least Clinton didn't
join the reserve and then go AWOL. Besides Clinton was a great president. Bush
was th worst in history. Wish Clinton were back in office right now.


Clinton signed the agreement to go ROTC. Once safely in England he wrote
saying how he never intended to go in and loathed the military.

So much for your hero Art.


Well, if the requirement be that the Candidate be a True War Hero,
they keep missing one of the best of the lot.
Consider, if you will, a man who volunteered and served nobly through
4 years of frontline Hell, decorated for Heroism, and wounded
severely. A sentimental man, who liked children and dogs, and wasn't
afraid to weep at a beautiful sunset. An accomplished politician,
willing to go to jail for his beliefs, and a strong man who'll make
sure that Those *******s Get Theirs!
Just the things the Usenet Democrats claim are the prime qualities of
a Presidential Candidate.

I give you, of course, Adolf Hitler.


Let us now invoke Godwin's Law, and declare these threads over.


Actually, on studying the 1940 Presidential campaign, the number of
Midwestern Progressives (Then the highly Liberal Wing of teh
Democratic Party) threw in with the Germans. Many accepted campaign
conributions (To the tune of about 5 Million 1940 Dollars), and quite
a few actually made it into the Abwehr's books as Paid Agents.
(Including John L. Louis, head of the United Mine Workers)

That last bit is interesting, if not surprising. My Dad is a WWII vet, and
to this day the mere mention of John L. Lewis will invariably instigate a
long succession of unprintable words. John L. not only tried to sell us out
before we got into the war, but he threatened to strike while it was still
ongoing--striking for better wages at a time when the millions of men in
uniform were making a fraction of what the average UMW miner was bringing
home each week.

You should have known that, but then your egregious cross-posting tells
us even more about you than does your apparent naivete.


I didn't cross post anything, I didn't cut any groups either.

You must be new to Usenet...

(Awaits loud roar of anger that always erupts when someone is accused of
being a newby)



No WB, I'm not new to USENET, but still capable of newby mistakes. For
example, I wondered where that last paragraph went concerning "egregious
cross-posting". I had thought that I deleted it.

As to cross-posting or cutting previously cross-posted NGs from a response,
I believe (whether it is USENET convention or not) that the list of NGs to
which a post is sent, even in response, is the responsibility of the poster.
I had no wish to post to or hear from anyone on alt.music.bush so I deleted
that NG from the address line of my response.

According to Google, the original thread seems to have come from ArtKramer
in soc.history.medieval --

Subject: Why didn't Bush fight in Viet Nam?
Date: 2004-02-17 07:02:54 PST

-- with no change in NG through all 15 messages.

But it seems it was Bob Coe's post which was "egregiously] cross-posted",
though I haven't yet found how the message made the jump from s.h.m. to
r.a.m. It's probably in Google somewhere for some meticulous person with a
lot of time on his hands to find.

Subject: babble, was Why didn't Bush fight?

Newsgroups: alt.military.retired, alt.military.uk, alt.music.bush,
rec.aviation.military, sci.military.naval, soc.veterans,
us.military.army, us.military.national-guard

There have been several threads started with the word "Babble" in the title,
apparently as a follow-on not only to "Why didn't Bush fight in Viet Nam?"
and but also to others, so delving any further seems a waste of time. I'm
neither a proficient nor a determined miner of Google's USENET, so there is
more there than meets my eye no doubt, concerning the genealogy of the post
in question.

At worst, it seems to me that you only continued the cross-posting rather
than initiating it, and I suppose that including only one NG which I
considered inappropriate hardly makes it "egregious" anyway, so I apologize
to both you and Bob Cole for that.

So the Kramer doctrine *now* says that you don't have to have military or
combat experience as long as your a great president????????????

You sorry, confused old man. How can you see into the future to determine if
someone is going to be a great president?

This really is beginning to look worse everyday....sad...
