Yes, we know how hard Mr. Bush fought during the Vietnamese War. He fought so hard he war racking DUIs left and right. For info on your president's questionable war record.....see below: "For McClellan, the answer to "this issue" begins and ends with the "pay" records he released on Tuesday - records that do not show Bush actually reported for duty in Alabama or Texas after April 1972, no matter how McClellan tries to spin them." "The central lie begins with George W. Bush's campaign biography, "A Charge to Keep," in which he said that after completing his flight training, ''I continued flying with my unit for the next several years."" "We know Bush wasn't flying in Alabama because he was grounded. So what was he doing? Bush was working for Republican Senate candidate Winston Blount, who was challenging incumbent Democratic Senator John Sparkman. According to Gynn Wilson," "When Bush wasn't engaging in dirty tricks, he was busy drinking - and allegedly doing illegal drugs too. According to Glynn Wilson, Those who encountered Bush in Alabama remember him as an affable social drinker who acted younger than his 26 years. Referred to as George Bush, Jr. by newspapers in those days, sources say he also tended to show up late every day, around noon or one, at Blount's campaign headquarters in Montgomery. They say Bush would prop his cowboy boots on a desk and brag about how much he drank the night before." democrats.com
