zeus, this guy has been all over this story. He's the only mainstream journalist who has the guts to buck a very vindictive White House.

Desertion might be too tough for a NoGo (NG is the symbol for National Guard) no show. All the rich and connected kids did it during Vietnam. War is generally for the benefit of the wealthy but fought by the poor folks and the people of color. So, I don't think he should be court martialed at this late date. However, he has several questions to answer: 1. Why was he discharged as a First Lieutenant? Nearly all pilots are discharged from NG service as Captains or higher. 2. Why did he skip his physical? Was that part of his drug and alcohol problem? 3. Why does he pretend to be a warrior when he was obviously a shirker? Clinton was a draft dodger, but he didn't pretend to be anything else.
