om... Also, if Bush is re-elected you can bet the draft will be re-instated, Tom How much do you want to bet?

om... Yeah George W Bush ran there in the Vietnam war time, I heard there is video footage of him hiding under CN tower, luckily daddy bush senior pulled some political strings, and a helicopter flew in, and they wrapped him up in cotton wool with a nice cup of coco. Yeah? Now, why don't you tell us about Bill Clinton's military service?

That press conference was one of the most preposterous things I've ever seen in my life. Did you hear how many times the White House spokesman avoided every single question that was put to him? He just repeated the same non-sequitur over and over again. If those were all George Bush's military records, then he definitely never served a minute. miguel -- Hit The Road!

A scratch on the arm didn't even draw blood, or result in time off. What a hero he was. He got those metals by deception in order to get out of nam. When you are a enlisted man and a officer says medic I'm wounded, What can you say but yes, sir. 3 purple heart in 4 months with no time off, give me a break. Also one of his commanders said, "There wasn't even any shooting going on one of the times he was injured." The just went under a low hanging branch that scratched him. What a hero..... Yes, what a shame, especially when you consider all the "metals" (sic) that George Bush could have won if he had shown up for duty. But maybe wishing will make it so! It worked for Dorothy! Again, Purple Hearts are not for heroism, no matter how much you pretend they are. Silver Stars are. How many Silver Stars are held by the current administration? How many Bronze Stars with V? How many anything? How many Republicans does it take to sling mud at a man for fulfilling his military duty? How many Republicans know what military duty is? How many Republicans believe that military duty is for suckers? How many Republicans were dead set against fighting Hitler? Enough that FDR would not have been able to go to war in Europe if Hitler had not declared war on us on Dec 11, 1941. (Here's where you jump in and state that he never actually declared war. Read the speech, it's on the internet. Near the end he says that Germany, Italy & Japan are at war with the US and Britain.) I'll give you a good example of Republican patriotism. ITT sued the US government during the Eisenhower administration for wartime damage to one of it's aircraft plants, and won in Federal court. Unfortunately the aircraft it had been producing were Messerschmitts and the people who damaged it were the 8th Air Force. You gotta love those business types who also bankroll the far right. It's obvious that you like to listen to yourself rambling but the fact is that you have not made any point whatsoever. You're welcome, Mr. Canada (your posted name), to keep it coming. Your inane ramblings, based on faith or misdirection or whatever it is you guys are pedalling this week, are laughable and quite easily countered with fact and reason. I'm sorry, I know that "reason" is an ugly word to "the faithful", but I couldn't help myself. Maybe the devil made me do it! Brian How did you wind up with a name like Boycott Canada? I've heard of Captain Boycott and the only person I ever heard of named Canada was the actor Canada Lee. Maybe your name is Canada Boycott? That makes more sense, Yes. You must be Canada Boycott. Any middle initial? |

President George Bush's father flew in combat. I wonder what his feelings are about his son's lack of a sense of duty? I feel sorry for him because I know what he may be thinking. My stepfather flew 30 combat missions as a gunner in the 8th Air Force. He lived through hell and came home to tell me that the louder the patriot, the bigger the coward. George Bush Sr. must know that. I feel sorry for him and the sacrifices he made in the Pacific to be so dishonored by such a callow son. Being a pilot in th NG was no guarantee of safety. OTOH, many people went into the Air Force and Navy voluntarily to minimize the chance of finding one's self in mortal danger via the draft. The exception to this would be those in flight status. This brings us to your guy Kerry. Somehow he ended up in the Navy. He wasn't drafted! He was one of the unlucky ones that ended up in Vietnam. Now, I have not seen his record, and he may well have volunteered for every assignment he received, but the fact that he went into the Navy at a time when the war was primarily a ground war raises questions in my mind. Russ Kerry served in the riverine force, small boats doing recon and ground force infiltration. He was wounded there, awarded medals for bravery there, came back and became part of the Viet vets against the war movement. Yep.. He was wounded alright. A scratch on the arm didn't even draw blood, or result in time off. What a hero he was. He got those metals by deception in order to get out of nam. When you are a enlisted man and a officer says medic I'm wounded, What can you say but yes, sir. 3 purple heart in 4 months with no time off, give me a break. Also one of his commanders said, "There wasn't even any shooting going on one of the times he was injured." The just went under a low hanging branch that scratched him. What a hero..... You seem to have trouble with basic facts. Kerry was an officer, not an enlisted man. And served in Vietnam. GW Bush was also an officer. Who kept himself far away from Vietnam. |

You seem to have trouble with basic facts. Kerry was an officer, not an enlisted man. That's precisely what was posted, that Kerry was the commissioned officer and the medic was an enlisted man. And nothing Kerry did in Vietnam or claimed to have done in Vietnam is in any way connected to or involved with George W. Bush, whom you may bash to your heart's content, but, such sidestepping in no way exhonerates or excuses Kerry's behavior or words. And the unanswered question remains: why hasn't Kerry released ALL of his military records? Is he hiding something?
