What you have missed are the facts. Cheney was entitled to and took exemptions that the vast majority of men in this country took at that time -- and they were LEGAL, put into law by the United States Congress.
Given Bush's extensive time spent in uniform -- he was a flyboy as recently as about a year ago -- I'm sure the entire world has been soothed by his words.
He was in uniform longer than John Kerry was.
You may cast aspersions against Bush if you want to, but I'd rather have him that a man who has admitted that he murdered innocent people and committed other atrocities during a war.
