You want to hear about Bush's war record? Well he got himself into a cozy Air Guard unit in Texas thanks to daddy, though GW scored 30% on the pilot training test so anyone else would have been rejected. Then he did stop in once in awhile, but for a whole year he went AWOL - technically deserted - never told the Guard where he was - in fact he was in Alabama whooping it up and working on a political campaign - where he could have maybe stopped in to the Alabama Guard but never did. Any other Guardsman who did this would be punished severely but GW never even got reprimanded. Daddy and friends took care of it, just as he did so many times over Bush's life. Meanwhile fellow rich Yalie John Kerry volunteered for the heat of combat in the Mekong and led his swift boat squadron to amazing victories, taking three bullets, saving many lives and taking enemy lives, once with his bare hands. It's really a joke when the RJN types call Bush a former jet-fighter pilot. He never was and for a whole year shirked his duties completely. Cheney also dodged the draft with a law school deferment. Not a single Bush White House honcho has ever served in combat unless you count Powell. That's why they're aptly-named the chickenhawks.
