I realize the things you say, but my concern is for the ability, at the grassroot level, to provide explanation and evidence of an honorable record. Make no mistake, if ketchup boy makes the cut, whatever boring recitations of his service record we suffer through now will only become worse. The entire hope of the RAT's is to field somebody that doesn't have the military-hating, draft-dodging, treasonous, socialist, traitor credentials of most RAT's written all over him. Mr. F'ing is the great white hope since he, at the least, has a service record. His other qualities can be manufactured at will by the sympathetic press.

His honorable discharge is evidence of an honorable record.

Bush 'Desertion' Charge Debunked

Was Bush "AWOL"?

I think Bush is toast. Kerry I think, won the Medal of Honor, a service record doesn't get any better then that. The fact that he opposed the war is not a big deal since very few supported LBJ's war that LBJ [spit] refused to fight to win. Even since Truman, we've stopped fighting wars to win them. Look at Iraq today, we should have 300,000 troops on the groud and they should be blowing away any and all resistance. War is not nice, war is about killing your enemy. Once the enemy is dead then you can be nice.

Anyway Bush is going to get ripped to pieces from the left over the budget deficet, jobs, trade and the Iraq war. He is going to get ripped to pieces from the right over new entitlements, pork barrel spending, CFR, pariot Act, NEA and amnesty. His militray record is the least of his worries.
