What was Dan Rather doing during the Vietnam War?

Writing love letters to Fidel?

Big deal. He was "ordered" to take a physical.

I addition, this is not new news no matter what Rather says.

There's a thread on breaking that says that they got an email to donate to SVets and clicked it and it was to the DNC. Don't know whether it is true or not but I would recommend going directly to the site.

" "I graduated from college in 1971. After graduation from school, if you were male and medically fit you had three choices."

1. Enlist in the branch of service of your choice.

2. Stand for the draft.

3 If you were wealthy and/or had the proper connections you could enter the Guard. Those were the facts of life.

So How did Richie Gephardt get in the Missouri Air National Guard? Did his milk-truck driving Dad use his union connections, or was Richie's Dad skimming cream at night? I got out of college in 1971 (four deferments!), and very few of the people I graduated follwed any of the above 3 options. My draft number was 68 (out of 365) and they didn't get to me until November. In December, Nixon announced the discontinuation of the draft.

No...now they are claiming that it was when he was Speaker of the TX House.

Well Barnes is on Video claiming he was Lt. Gov at the time

Brit Humes showed it tonight

On H&C, the dim guy commented on how many sKerry bumperstickers there were at the Pentagon. Now THAT is SCARY.

I tend to doubt any national guard pilots served in Vietnam, but you never know where you might wind up should hostilities break out.

"Many fellow veterans and I want you to know that we will never forget, belittle, or slander the service of the 6,077 National Guardsmen and Reservists who lost their lives in Vietnam. I know that we will never denigrate any National Guard service, especially knowing that 140 National Guardsmen were recipients of the Congressional Medal of Honor. "

Agreed.......and again, I can only say it's totally disgusting.

Dan Rather just makes me ill. I only watched about 10 minutes of it, that was enough for me. Just enough to get mad enough to email CBS about their continued Bias. I figure if I'm gonna complain about it, they're gonna have to hear from me. Not that they will care.

Did you notice how poorly Bush's address was concealed on the "report for a physical" memo? Are they trying to leak this to open up more lines of investigation?

Howlin heard Hannity say it, and mass55th says she has read it, that Bush did sign a form 180.

I know kabar has been asking around about that.

What really galls me, is the fact that CBS and the Democrats are impuning the National Guard....as if it is somehow inferior service to this country. This really takes the cake!

We need to fight like the Democrats and be all over any media outlet that impunes the service of the National Guard!
