Ping, for a strong rebuttal statement regarding Dubya's military service. Might be useful for one of your compilations.

Heard McAuliff make an interesting comment on CNN just as Judy Woofwoof was cutting him off. McA.....so he made up the time, that's not allowed.

Looks like a bit of revisionist backing and filling by the scum.

When you join the military, you roll the dice. What you end up doing, whether you end up in danger, whether you end up in discomfort, or whether you end up in some paradise is largely a matter of luck. Of course, during the Vietnam years, the odds were decent that you would end up over there.

Yes it is a roll of the dice, and hundreds of thousands of soldiers like myself wound up "over there" but never saw combat.

This article is a "pre-buttal" to today's article in the Boston Globe:

Bush's Guard service: What the record shows
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1072047/posts

Serious barf alert on that one. Michael Moore is quoted in the first line.

I'll take this sentiment a step further in that this whole anti-Bush campaign by the DNC and the media about how the administration lied and manipulated data to start this war is equivalent to pissing on the graves of each and every American soldier who has died over there. Politics no longer stops at the borders with this bunch.

Of all the things that any Republican President has ever said or done, I think Bush's landing on the aircraft carrier has hurt the feelings of the Democrats most.

I wish I had a convient size photo of Bush on the carrier deck to flash at liberals when they start bashing Bush. It would be like flashing a cross at a vampire.

Here's my two cents worth. I think people on the left hate the Military, Guns and Good ole God and Country Values for one simple reason: They will always hate anything that stands in the way of their socialist revolution...i.e. Military, Guns and Good Ole God and Country Values. It's simple. We're they're enemy.

GWB was flying a very tempremental hi performance fighter aircraft, the F-102 interceptor. It had a disturbingly high accident rate. The odds of GWB being injured or killed in a training accident were probably higher than REMF Al Gore's of being hurt or killed in combat.

The 28th Division, Pennsylvania National Guard, is not called the "Bloody Bucket" for avoiding a fight. My recollection is that they earned the monicker for their actions in WWII

A large number of National Guardsman of my old artillery unit were killed in a horrible train wreck while being mobilized for the Korean War.

And they also serve, who sit and wait.
