Brian, read what the Nat. Guard was like back then.......they were considered "weekend warriors". It was a way for people to get out of going to the Vietnam War. Remember this was the time of the draft. And the Air National Guard was the cream of the crop and very hard to get in.......unless, of course, your father was prominent politically. I know full well what it was like. My father was in the National Guard at that time. Sorry to burst your bubble, but he was a poor minister's son who had no favors to call in. The smart people joined the National Guard _before_ their draft numbers were called up. The big press to join came after people were drafted. You slight every member of the National Guard with your characterizations. Brian

Ted Re...Brian, read what the Nat. Guard was like back then.......they were considered "weekend warriors". LOL I am sure the dems will make greats strides, being recognized as the party of togetherness, with that observation. It was a way for people to get out of going to the Vietnam War. Remember this was the time of the draft Maybe it was for you and your ilk, but it is condescending to say everyone joined the Natl. Guard for that reason. Bush scored very poorly on the flight aptitude portion of the entrance exam or application. More bald faced lies. GW got a rating of excellent, on his Natl. Guard reports. If their asses were literally on the line, they would not be so quick to fire the first shot. And if your a## would have been sitting in the twin towers on 9/11, we wouldn't have had to listen to this drivel either. What is your point. That only self proclaimed war criminals like Kerry, not the president, should decide if we should go to war.
