Everything can be analyzed on a continuium. Yes, President Bush did server
in the National Guard. There is some question about his motives, hence the
skepticism.


Oh, I'm pretty sure he joined the Guard for the same reason many others did
in that era; to reduce the chances of toting a rifle through Vietnam. I
have no problem with that. The Johnson administration chose a policy of not
sending Guard units to Vietnam, why shouldn't people take advantage of that
policy if they can?
