We can dredge up and analyze the history of the Viet Nam war until hell freezes over to determine what some young kids did or did not do in the 60's and 70's. Those answers will not tell us, however, which of these two are more qualified to lead the US for the next four years. GW Bush, while considered by many as the 'dim bulb in the pack', has reversed a recession that was handed to him, fought a war on terrorism that has not resulted in a repeat of 9/11, and seems to be a lot more believable than his opponent. John Kerry, on the other hand, seems to be a pathological liar who would appease any audience with his fibs and flip-flops................

I remember guys signing up with the Navy before they got drafted. In fact, I was talking to one after 9/11. His son had signed up for the Marines and he had tried to talk him out of it. He told him that in the Navy he never got shot at, he always had plenty to eat and he always went to sleep in a dry bed.

I know a lot of guys who joined the NG and I don't think anyone had to pull any strings though they and their parents may have had more understanding about their chances of going to Vietnam than the regular Joe.

I heard tonight that President Bush's service records show he signed he did not want to go oversea's. Anyone else hear he had checked that box when he signed up?

I'm needing to find out how we can disprove this claim by the Dems. This is their newest assertion.

I just heard it tonight on Hannity and Colmes (I think it was Hannity and Colmes). 7/30/04

Anyone else hear this?

Um, don't think that box ever existed. Those who joined the NG take them same oath as everyone else.
