Fangorn - I stand corrected, and I apologize to President Bush for not having thoroughly checked my facts. According to the sources provided by "goldworldnet", this is the truth of Bush's National Guard service, as taken from Guard records: "It's time to set the record straight. The following analysis, which relies on National Guard documents, extensive interviews with military officials and previously unpublished evidence of Bush's whereabouts in the summer and fall of 1972, is the first full chronology of Bush's military record. Its basic conclusions: Bush may have received favorable treatment to get into the Guard, served irregularly after the spring of 1972 and got an expedited discharge, but he did accumulate the days of service required of him for his ultimate honorable discharge. "George W. Bush applied to join the Texas Air National Guard on May 27, 1968, less than two weeks before he graduated from Yale University. The country was at war in Vietnam, and at that time, just months after the bloody Tet Offensive, an estimated 100,000 Americans were on waiting lists to join Guard units across the country. Bush was sworn in on the day he applied. " So, from this record, we can see that he only ducked out of serving in Viet Nam by joining the Guard, that he got into the Guard because of special treatment, and that he served "irregularly." I do apologize. I still say that to denigrate Al Gore's service in the Army while praising George Bush as the better man is to demonstrate considerable bias. - Allen
