The other thing she's ignorant about is that some people actually wanted to serve in the military even during Viet Nam. She doesn't realize that during the late 60s and 70s not everyone was out protesting and making a**es of themselves. There were people who gasp didn't agree with protesters or the democrats. She cannot fathom anyone wanting to go to Viet Nam therefore she assumes Bush was trying to get out of serving rather than just shutting up and doing his duty which I guarantee you a lot more people were doing back then.
I was following this very closely at the time. This was part of a detailed and coordinated smear campaign.
The actual charges were pretty insignificant, even if true. But I don't think they were trying to say he was avoiding duty. IMHO, this was a leg in a chain of accusations that was supposed to establish that he had to get out early to avoid the physical.
There were going to be further "revelations" to come that would charge that the President was/is a cocaine addict. Something that was calculated to hurt him with his base.
Hi, Mary! You really are pathetic!
Grab a bag and breate into it.
