He could have done what Dan Quayle done during Vietnam....

Here is B. G. Burkett's, co-author of the book "Stolen Valor,” a history of the media’s portrayal of the Vietnam conflict, take on Dan Rather's criticism of Dan Quayle's service in the NG during the Vietnam era

"Meanwhile, Burkett is miffed that Rather led media criticism of former Vice President Dan Quayle’s military record during his White House campaign.

"This is the same national broadcaster who, night after night during the 1988 presidential campaign, hammered Republican presidential candidate Dan Quayle for avoiding Vietnam by joining the National Guard,” he said.

."CBS was particularly heavy on Dan Quayle and his Guard experience. … It’s exactly the same thing Dan Rather did during the Korean War.

Military service is important if you are a Democrat with military service running for President . It isn't if you are a Democrat running for President and have not served. Pretty simple.
