Bush was in the National Guard and volunteered to go to Vietnam but was turned down because he didn't have enough flight time as a combat pilot in the F-102 interceptor, which he flew for the Texas National Guard.
In 1992 when Clinton was running and receiving criticism for dodging the draft and then later lying about it Kerry defended Clinton , saying service during the war shouldn't matter. From the senate floor he complained Vietnam had been inserted into the campaign.
When Kerry began HIS campaign for president, suddenly Vietnam service became important for presidential platforms.
ALL military service is commendable , that includes National Guard service as well as peace time soldiers.
Kerry has been exploiting his service for political gain since he requested an early release to pursue anti-war politics.

Couldnt agree more, I also happen to believe that the reason why Kerry went to Vietnam in the first place was for political gain in the future. I have never heard of anyone reinacting what they did in a war and running around with a video camera doing what he did disgusts me.
I remember him defending Clinton typical politcian, whenever the winds change so does his position.
Like a fish flip flop flip flop
