I've said this numerous time on FR...I think it's a big mistake for the Dems to bash Guard Service as something "lesser".

It belittles all those serving in any military position who did not end up in Nam. It says "If you're not John Kerry. you're not worthy of respect".

All in all, the documents show that Bush served intensively for four years and then let up in his fifth and sixth years, although he still did enough to meet Guard requirements.

Can you tell me what the difference in that and John Kerry leaving Vietnam early and then asking for an early out is?
