I am always insulted by these people who say that Bush did not really serve, because he never went overseas to Vietnam for combat. I am insulted because what does it say about the thousands of other men like him. My dad also volunteered for the service, rather than being drafted. Although that was in Korea, not Vietnam. He never left the United States, since the treaty was signed before his troop was to be shipped out. It never made my dad less of a veteran. It shouldn't make President Bush less of a veteran. Of course, I know I preaching to the choir on this one.

What tick me off is the disparagement of military reservist that is implied in what the critics are saying about the Pres. As someone pointed out on the radio the other day, there are names of over 6,500 reservist on the wall at the Viet Nam memorial in DC.
