Kerry Attacks Bush on National Guard Duty 20 minutes ago Add Politics - Reuters to My Yahoo! By Caren Bohan CLEVELAND (Reuters) - Democrat John Kerry (news - web sites) raised questions on Tuesday about President Bush (news - web sites)'s military record as the war of words over what the two presidential candidates did during the Vietnam era escalated. The Massachusetts senator also took aim at Vice President Dick Cheney (news - web sites), saying he "got every deferment in the world" that allowed him to avoid service in Vietnam. Kerry, the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee, was on a bus tour through four states that he was using to highlight the loss of jobs during the Bush presidency. But for the second straight day, it was what Kerry, a decorated Vietnam War veteran turned antiwar activist, and Bush, a pilot in the National Guard, did three decades ago that was attracting much of the campaign heat. Kerry's campaign issued a statement accusing the president of receiving special treatment during his service in the Guard and of failing to prove he showed up for duty during part of his service. "Bush has said he used no special treatment to get into the Guard. How does he explain the fact that he jumped ahead of 150 applicants despite low pilot aptitude scores?" said the statement. The statement also pointed to what it said were gaps in the records regarding Bush's service in the Guard during 1972 and 1973. The campaign asked nine specific questions highlighting what it said were gaps in Bush's record. Later, speaking to a Dayton Daily News reporter, Kerry raised the Vietnam issue as a counterattack to Cheney's comments on Monday suggesting the senator was not fit to serve as U.S. commander in chief. "I think a lot of veterans are going to be very angry at a president who can't account for his own service in the National Guard, and a vice president who got every deferment in the world and decided he had better things to do, criticizing somebody who fought for their country and served," Kerry told the reporter during a bus ride from Youngstown to Cleveland.
