Your right lapster, no time for conjecture.
One thought, The National Guard is not a group of draft dodgers. They have been called to ever war including Vietnam. The Liberal press loves to bat around the term draft dodger, and I wonder how many of them ever served a day.

Bush records have been released, why not Kerry's. Because he will not sign the form.

What you see on his web site is what he wanted released, not all the records.

Time for truth!!!!!!

Except when Clinton was running in '92 and '96, but I guess we weren't in the middle of a war then... /sarcasm

Going into the NAVY at the time was also a way to AVOID the draft. Similar to tax evasion vs. tax avoidance. Going into the NG was a way to avoid getting drafted and having no choice in what assignments you'd get.

Just as we have found that having an all volunteer military is better than drafting the unwilling, the Navy, AF and NG in the '60's found themselves with a higher percentage of motivated individuals in service and apparently had fewer personnel issues.
