A Window on Character

In a must-read column, Craig Crawford defends the recent presidential campaign focus on the Vietnam War because the "debate is telling us plenty about the characters of George W. Bush and John Kerry, which is what most voters want to know about their presidential candidates."

"No matter where you come down on the details of his combat service, we have learned that the 2004 Democratic nominee was fiercely ambitious in those days to build a war record for an intricately planned political career. During the Vietnam-era days, by sharp contrast, the 2004 Republican nominee was a slacker who safely remained stateside and apparently had no thoughts of ever even holding a full-time job. Running for president some day could not have crossed Bush's mind, given his sloppy handling of his National Guard service."

"While Americans admire ambition, they also tend to like a goof-off."
