A man goes to war and dies in Afghanistan and dies,he is a hero.A man goes to war in Viet Nam ,wins citations and the vice-president and president have the gaul to question his record of service.Where were they during the war?Summer camp for draft dodgers.What a classic example of hypocrisy by this administration.Ray charles could see through this.
Bush1 was a pilot, bush2 pilot or not was in the National Guard just like Qualye, and as we all know the National Guard was just a way for politian's kids to get out of going to Nam without tarnishing their reps. On a side note before somebody tries to defend bush2 on this aside from going National Guard, he went AWOL for a year.
Ok then why is there no record of him reporting to base after requesting his transfer to Mississippi (I believe it was Miss)? Why does not single person remember serving with him while he was supposedly their? Why does the commanding officer from that time have no recollection of him reporting in or ever serving?
Actually much more than who reported it, I'd say the fact that the repubs haven't been able to provide one stitch of evidence showing or one witness saying that he actually did show up that tends to make one believe it's true. This isn't like lying on your resume, it's the military/government, if he was there there would be a paper trail.
Nobody is questioning he was there. Fact is, he was there for a very short time, and then came home and did nothing but blast the war and troops that were over there. Now, it's back to "I served and I'm a war hero." It's to be expected, though, after all, it's John Freaking Kerry, the guy that changes his position on every issue, depending on what he feels at the time.
