Nothing wrong with people who opted for the Guard and were lucky enough to find a slot on their own. I don't think anyone including Kerry has an issue with that. Personally I wouldn't have wanted to do six years though even a draftee is technically in for six years. The first issue is was Bush allowed to pass others in line because of connections. Those who facilitated it are beneath contempt and those who knowingly benefited by it the same. If so someone most likely went to NAM in Bush's place. The month he enlisted I was drafted. 99% of my basic training class went to NAM, May of 1968. Second if the above is true he is not telling the truth now and anything else he says is BS. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can UNSUBSCRIBE from the OpenDTV list in two ways: - Using the UNSUBSCRIBE command in your user configuration settings at FreeLists.org - By sending a message to: opendtv-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the word unsubscribe in the subject line.
