I don't ever demean those who served honorably, which includes my father (Army Air Corp) and my late husband (Air Force), my current fiance (Air Force pilot) and numerous friends. Bush Sr was a war hero, GW is something else. "Military records show that Bush's two commanding officers back in Texas reported George W. did not show up for duty there either for a year, and that they believed he had been transferred to Alabama. Meanwhile, when Bush failed to take his required annual medical exam in August, 1972, his pilot status was removed.

It should be noted that reporting for military duty is not something that's optional, particularly during a war. Those caught shirking National Guard duties were usually punished by being drafted into the real army — the one that landed you in Vietman, where some 350 American soldiers were killed each week. But, despite more than a year absent from duty, nothing happened to the well-connected George W. Bush."

So tell us, what combat fighting did Bush do in the Vietnam war? Huh. No I don't insult those who have defended and are defending America. Not enough has been done for them by way of showing how much we appreciate what they have done to protect and serve our great country.

I'm not going to make guesses about where you were or what you did during the Vietnam war. So, tell us. And BTW God bless your sibling's children who so valiantly serve.
