Gore won early release from Vietnam to attend divinity school. Bush's family arranged for him to get into the Texas Air National Guard. He had a "spotty" attendance record, as they say, and also won early release---for what reason I don't know.

Way early. He wore the green for 4 months. Mostly in the US of A.
