You're just reciting the latest RW spin -- which is a complete distraction because the main issue is that he did not perform that National Guard service. He took a powder and then got special treatment because of his family connections. But if you want to compare TANG with Vietnam -- sorry, there was a waiting list to get into TANG and Bush jumped to the front of the line despite his low score. There was no waiting list to go to Vietnam. I won't say that those who served in the National Guard didn't serve their country, but I will say it was a far less dangerous and thus far more desirable assignment than going to Vietnam, and I think it's ridiculous for anyone to argue otherwise.
