Democratic strategist Mary Anne Marsh, speaking moments ago on “Hannity and Colmes”: “George Bush betrayed his country by sending us to war on false pretenses, and George Bush betrayed his country by not fighting in Vietnam.” Yes. You read that right. “George Bush betrayed his country by not fighting in Vietnam.” "George Bush betrayed his country by not fighting in Vietnam." celluloid-wisdom.com Given an opportunity to correct this rather incredible statement, Ms. Marsh declined, arguing that she had nothing to correct—that it was a fact that George Bush betrayed his country by not fighting in Vietnam. Instapundit - Attacking Bush's service is a real dumb move. Most of my contemporaries (including many friends and Bill Clinton) did not fight in Vietnam. I do not consider that they betrayed their country, as long as they avoided Vietnam by legal means, and I do not know any Vietnam veterans who think that those who avoided Vietnam "betrayed their country"). Yes, this seems like a serious error to me. Perhaps born of desperation? Or just ineptitude? Betrayed his country. By not fighting in Vietnam.
