Bush's light duty.


By the way, I think it important that the Democrats and their allies, although not Kerry himself, make sure that Bush is exposed as a draft-dodger. Most people today think of National Guardsmen as standing a good chance of having to go to war, as they did in World War II, and as they" are doing today in Iraq. But every voter should know that during Vietnam, the Guard was widely recognized as a way of avoiding danger. That's why so many young men tried to get in, so many in fact that Bush's father had to use political influence to help his son land one of the prized slots. Finally, no vote," should be left unaware that on his application for the Guard, there was a box asking if you wanted to serve overseas that Bush checked "no."
