Gomer Pyle served honorably. Lou Costello and Bill Murray did their part in Buck Privates and S*T*R*I*P*E*S *. And one could mention Audie Murphy, Alvin York, and Mad Anthony Wayne -- heroes all.

Michael Moore got the ball rolling when he stood alongside General Wesley Clark and accused George Bush of being a deserter. Clark seemed confused. God knows, he's not George S.

Then Tony McAuliffe chortled, "Wait till we stand him up alongside John Kerry!" The usual squadron of party jackasses followed suit by accusing George W of being AWOL.
General Turnipseed, commander of the National Guard unit during George W's short tour of duty in Alabama, said he could not remember seeing George in the chow line or doing close-order drill on the blacktop. So, ipso facto, George couldn't have been there.
Turnipseed is in the early stages of Alzheimer's disease and there are a few other things he can't remember -- like the day of the week or whether or not he is married. This isn't the first time radical liberals have pried their facts from someone on the way to a nursing home.
