Reply #37: During Vietnam the guard normally didn't have a choice. [View All]

I am currently in the Air Force Reserve. Have been for 18 years. I was in the first Gulf War and will be going back over later on this year for a short time. Many of my friends were in Vietnam. They didn't have the chance to go into a guard unit. One officer was a medic in the Army during Vietnam. He and five of his friends enlisted on the same day and were stationed in the same platoon. He was the only one to come back. When I asked him what happened to people that didn't do thier guard duty back then he told me that they were arrested and immediatedly enlisted in the infantry and sent to Vietnam.

I believe that George Bush was AWOL for that year. I believe that officers in the Alabama National Guard looked the other way while George Bush ran around working on a campaign and snorting coke as a favor to his dad.

I believe that if the truth comes out about his deplorable service record that he will lose much of the military vote. Although there will always be sheep in the military that will vote for satan as long as he is a republican. Sadly some thing they aren't supposed to think when they put on the uniform.
