IMus often gets right to the point. Summary of what he said today below. 1. Of course CBS had a political agenda regardless of what thornberg said. 2. Of course rather has an agenda that caused him to forget basic principles of journalism. 3. Of course bush got preferential treatment while in the Guard as all the sons of the wealthy and prominent did. 4. Bush learned to fly a damned fighter jet. He could have been sent to combat in vietnam at any time. If he wanted to avoid service he could have. He didnt shirk duty. 5. When his military career was winding down while his political one was beginning in alabama, of course he blew off what he considered to be meanlingless and boring reserve meetings as many other did. My addition. Bet Papa Bush did his best to keep Sonny out of combat. Why cant folks just be honest. Rather blew it. Bush served OK. Clinton avoided serice. Gore served well in his role of press. Newt avoided the draft, i think. Cheney avoided the draft. Mike97123 avoided the draft. Mikes good friend did helicopter combat duty in vietnam and was killed in an auto accident 20 years later, leaving a wife and two kids. JFK said life is unfair.
