Money talks. Big money screams. Kind of how he missed Vietnam.
You've made this "point" on numerous other occasions.
Forgive me for not knowing this, but did you serve in Vietnam?
If you did I honor your willingness to do your duty. Whether or not you carried out that duty with honor is something only you, the Vietnamese, your fellow soldiers, and God can say.
I hasten to add that I am not suggesting, at all, that if you served, you didn't serve with honor. The odds would be pretty good that you did, and for the purposes of this thread, I am more than willing to assume you did.
If you did serve, and particularly if you served in combat, I understand perfectly your derision for the wealthy, connected GWB's avoidance of the draft by virtue of a position in the National Guard. Although the NG is now called upon to send it's men and women to battle fields around the world, that wasn't the case back then.
Still, service in the Guard was, at least, a step better than dodging the draft and service entirely.
Case in point: Bill Clinton.
I may not know if you are a Viet Vet, but I do know you are a supporter of Clinton.
How come his dodge doesn't frost your ass the way W's does?
