You missed the point. Avatar said that Bush volunteered for foreign service. Stripey just proved him wrong on that count.
I find it kind of hypocritical for some righties to put a positive spin on Bush's military record while trashing the record of others who were in harm's way and even got wounded (Max Cleland, for example, lost three limbs).

I've never trashed Cleland.
Kerry, on the other hand, is a different matter. He joined the swift boats because he thought he be stationed off shore, and their mission got changed later. He then manufactured at least two of his Purple Hearts to get out of his service in just 4 months.
Regardless of if you think Bush tried to avoid the conflict, at least he served all of his time.
It seems we have yet another liberal double-standard. Who is the hypocrit, you say?
At least Kerry went. Prove two of his purple hearts were manufactured. Prove he joined the Swift boats to be stationed off shore. In fact going up river in swift boats was very dangerous. There was jungle on either side and you had no idea where the next bullet was coming from. Kinda ironic that he got a bronze and silver star on the swift boats when a) Some swifties got neither 2) Ditto grunts on the ground...
Once Kerry's goes public with his complete military history, as Bush did, then I'll be able to prove exactly what I said. Until then we'll just have to rely on reports of the Swift Boat vets, which I'm quite sure that you will dismiss in kind.
BTW aren't you that same individual who claims to point out hipocrisy?
I don't dismiss the evidence of the swift boat vets who actually served on board the same boat with him, all of which except one agree with his version. You know, the guys that were actually there on the boat with him - not the guys who only "heard" about what he did.
I agree, he should have opened his records..
have you read the board rules, ofa?
how about this one in particular?
** I expect Staff to be held to a higher standard as they set the tone of our community. As I am asking them to take the high road and refrain from engaging members in 'flaming', members are asked to refrain from 'flaming' Staff. If you have an issue with board decisions, or a particular member of Staff, please PM an Admin. There will be very little tolerance for members that go out of their way to engage Staff in a manner unbecoming to the community. **

Some people don't mind being lied to... some people do...
I don't watch ABC either, for the same reason and yes, they too are off my remote...
but who cares what you consider to be childish... certainly not I... there are tons of things that you do that I consider to be stupid, but that won't stop you from doing them, will it?

I thought those folks were winding up in that rehab center across the street from Walter Reed... not bleeding to death... I've heard that we can get them off the battlefield a lot faster than we could forty years ago... that plenty of those that are saved today would have died in Viet Nam...
If they had them in supply when we invaded, why didn't they provide them to the troops? Do you not see that that in and of itself is despicable?

They don't have a clue what constitutes victory, Grumpy, that's why they don't answer the question... all they can do is point their fingers at the dems and say... you want defeat...
a lie of course, but since that's their only refuge, that's what they do...
but in all fairness, ofa did answer the question... when all their oil is gone... of course he didn't answer my follow-up question... if he was going to kill all the iraqis to accomplish it...
