Military Service? What about the Boy Scouts?

I have seen better conduct from eleven year old Boy Scouts than some adults. Points to ponder.

My question is why didn't little johnny serve in the Military he was 22 in 75, so he could have been in Vietnam.

Guess he used his draft evading skills to avoid service just as bill the boob.

So the question is where was John?

[elhombrelibre]

Why does it matter to Kerry that Cheney wasn't in Vietnam when Clinton wasn't and Edwards wasn't. Kerry wants to wave the bloody shirt of Vietnam to isolate himself from any criticism. Hence, he says he was in Vietnam all the time and that any criticism of his votes is an attack on his patriotism. It's a red herring. The media will back him up, but we can make this the hoot of a joke that it is. Now not only do we say "he was in Vietnam" but we say "that's an attack on my patriotism" for the scondrel statement that it is.

The Democrat Party gave up all rights to question ANYONE's military service in 1992.

And, the Boy Scouts, unlike the Democrat Leadership, has adult supervision.

I'll probably get banned for this, and I don't care. I don't like Kerry, but I don't like Bush either. It's a crappy choice either way.

Anyway, Bush didn't serve in the military the chicken ran under his daddy's protection and never had to serve. And THAT'S documented. I don't care whether or not Kerry was given medals for whatever reason. At least he was in Nam and has the pictures to prove it. I'm just sick and tire of this stupid debate about Kerry's record...he was there, face it, Bush wasn't. That entire topic should have been avoided. You don't go after someone in a questionable argument. You hit them where they are truly weakest. Then all you arguments hod up, and there's no disputing your claims.
The main focus should be Kerry's flip flopping.
ANd I think republicans are LUCKY that the Democrats have not broken open and pecked at the wound of Bush AWOL year as much as we've poked at Kerry's record.
They're both just a couple of fortunate sons.

That's a keeper.

You should be banned just for this ignorant statement.

[dts32041]

I think you might what to check on the history of that guard unit and what the death rate of pilots where for the particular air craft.

He served period.

Kerry served both the US Military and the NVA, after all Giap credit kerry for his win.

So at the least J F K was a coward for splitting on his men and then spitting on them.

Ain't no choice, a fighter pilot or a NVA stooge, look at the history then decide.

Now if you want to talk about domestic policy I will agree with you they both suck.

[steplock]

You see nothing wrong with a traitorous sob like kerry who accused American combat veterans of warcrimes publicly to the US govt and publicly to our enemies that were still KILLING Americans ??

Along with the hanoi-whore-fonda, ramsey clark, and even let's-hide-in-moscow-willie clinton - all traitors who do not deserve to be inside our country's borders.

Now ... do you still think kerry was honorable?

[crona]

Didn't say he was honourable, I just said he was there

[crona]

Good reply

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Dude, you are way off.

Bush and Kerry were Reserve Officers...Both had to go to Basic Training and Both had active time requirements. AND THATS DOCUMENTED!

For you I will be sending Lightning.... ZOT!

[crona]

He got into the guard cause of Daddy, it's sad that good Americans would let him get away with pretending that didn't happen

[Zavien Doombringer]

Anyway, Bush didn't serve in the military

I suppose GW just wanted to wear this uniform to impress the ladies.

I also suppose driving an F-102 Delta Dagger was just an imagination.

I also suppose you think he went AWOL, but never faced a court marshal, or Dishonorable Discharge for action unbecoming of an officer.

I suppose you never served your country...

[crona]

See the point I'm making is the stupidity of party politics where we're willing to defend the actions of some lame wuss, sorry excuse for a president JUST because he happens to be the leader of the party we relate to. It's the same for both sides.
There's no real choice in this country....we need a third viable alternative.

[Zavien Doombringer]

You are full of it, I went into the Reserves before Active Duty, reservists and Guard members go through the same training. You have no idea what you are talking about.

Kerry Joined the reserves to, by the way...I suppose you think for a different reason.

[crona]

TRAINING? That's your best answer? It's AFTER The training that it hits the fan.....people don't shoot LIVE rounds at you during training./...... keep riding that dream horse buddy.

[crazyhorse691]

The Boy Scouts should be the charity of the Republicans. The Boy Scouts develop character, encourage belief in a supreme being, Patriotism, and moral development. These things are poison to the libs.
Please do not jump on me if I overstated or misstated the goals because I was trying to make a point here.

[Zavien Doombringer]

GW isn't a lame wuss.

If you are bold enough, tell him into his face. The man has guts to be doing the job he has right now. Name one thing he has done to you or anyone to deserve your insults.

[Zavien Doombringer]

You are an A$$, I have been shot at! And Kerry went where after training?

You do not know the politics of the Military. Reserves were being called up left and right. GW's Unit was on the ready for deployment, but was never called. Just so happens Kerry's reserve unit got called. GW would have been there.
