George W. Bush, while in the Texas Air National Guard, "did volunteer for service in Vietnambut was turned down in favor of more experienced pilots." This information is critical because Dan Rather, in the broadcast, insinuated that Bush was among the "many well-connected young men [who tried to] pull strings and avoid service in Vietnam."
Of course there was no political motivation on the part of the CBS crew..... I mean it's sooooo obvious...
