And George W. didn't exactly choose a desk job in an anonymous Guard unit. "His fighter unit was the first Air National Guard unit called for service during the Korean War," says Lt. Col. John Stanford, public affairs officer for the Texas National Guard. "It shot down the first MiG in Korea." The unit did not get called to Vietnam, however.

Bush a draft dodger? No. Clinton was a draft dodger. Have you ever asked, "Where was Bill Clinton during Vietnam?" Remember, Clinton "disdains" the military, in his own words. No, Al Gore had a special penthouse suite set up in Vietnam, all politically choreographed with personal bodyguards protecting him so he wouldn't get hurt, but could say he'd gone. Further, Gore never finished his tour of duty, either, as I recall. Went home early. Must have been too "stressful" for Gore, the genteel boy who literally grew up in a posh Washington D.C. hotel suite and went to St. Albans private school. Or, maybe somebody saw the photo that was taken of Gore inspecting his gun, whatreallyhappened.com , and decided he was a danger to himself and to others and that they had to get him the hell out of there, lest the Senator's son blow his own brains out in an accident. Will check on his early release and get back to you.
