Let me repeat:

Once more?
In 1968, at the height of the Vietnam War, George W. Bush enlisted in the Texas Air National Guard.
And the press keeps wondering if he showed up for Guard duty.
I would ask, "Why didn’t he enlist in the Army, Navy or Marines?
In those days, many chose the Guard as a way to evade Vietnam. Did he? No?
How did he get into the Guard? Did he have to pull strings? If so, who helped him?
If George W. Bush was a Democrat, the press would long ago have tagged him a draft dodger or Vietnam evader.
Now to be fair, many Americans evaded the Vietnam war. Some fled to Canada and other foreign havens, some hid in the Guard and some chose to be "conscientous objectors."
But it’s relevant, isn’t it, if a guy ducked a war and later chose to put young American soldiers in harm’s way in an optional, preemptive war?
More than 500 have lost their lives thus far.
If only the media was liberal. Or just competent...
