Guess who's going to get belatedly called up to go for the coming war ?. Maybe avoiding his national service during Vietnam may bite him in the arse .
Re: Re: Bill Clinton: I'd Die for Israel I'd suggest sending Dumbya over too but he'd probably just go AWOL again.
Re: Re: Re: Bill Clinton: I'd Die for Israel Dubya didn't go AWOL. He can't remember exactly what he did during his Reserves duty or where he was stationed, but he's certain he didn't go AWOL.
Re: Re: Re: Re: Bill Clinton: I'd Die for Israel Wait, are we talking about Dubya or Reagan? "I can't recall" is the title of the Republican platform.

Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Bill Clinton: I'd Die for Israel OK, smart guy, now do this for Reagan during Iran-Contra. Don't blame me, though, if your computer blows up from trying to handle such a large number... As for Bush and his service record, go here: http://www.realchange.org/bushjr.htm#vietnam

Re: Re: Re: Bill Clinton: I'd Die for Israel http://a1636.g.akamai.net/7/1636/79...campaign2000/newsimages/bush_pilot_052300.jpg Doesn't look AWOL to me. I'm sure one of you will post a picture of Bill Clinton to prove he didn't dodge the draft. I'll be waiting.
You were much smarter before your mysterious disappearance. Are you really the same person? I said that because you cannot be as ill-informed as you seem to be from that sentence. Bush the Younger was supposed to be protecting Texas from the Vietcong from May 1972 to May 1973, but instead never reported for duty. > I'm sure one of you will post a picture of Bill > Clinton to prove he didn't dodge the draft. I'll be waiting. He didn't dodge the draft - it just slipped his mind. But here is a picture of the winner of the 2000 presidential election you might like.
I thought Tom Hanks was Forrest Gump. Anyway, pot smoking can make you forget many things. Umm, yea... What was I talking about again?
I respect him a lot for doing his duty during Vietnam. If I remember correctly he wasn't drafted but joined voluntarily as an officer after he graduated hrom Harvard. Part of this was because he father was a Senator at the time, but his dad may have actually been against the war (I can't remember). I think he was a journalist over there in nam, kind of like Full Metal Jacket.
Gore was in Vietnam for less than 5 months, and in that 5 months he never fired a shot and hardly ever went off base. This comes from Gore himself. He was not even remotely on par with combat journalists. Gore was a remf. Where'd you get that picture spejic? From Al Gore's 1988 presidential campaign brochure? Gore was criticized for including that picture, the criticism being that the picture created a false impression that he had served as an infantryman, even though his only real combat experience was interviewing other GIs who had been in combat.
Why is it a problem that he was never an infantryman? Only 1/5th of the Americans that went to Vietnam were infantrymen. And a person of Gore's IQ would never have been an infantryman - the army would save them for other jobs (although some jobs for intelligent people, like infantry officer or pilot are even more dangerous). I was reading a bit more about Bush, and it seems that lots of famous Texans also protected Texas from the North Vietnam Air Force (like Lloyd Bentsen's kid, John Tower's kid and many of the Dallas Coyboys). I guess Texans are just wimps.
Unless you're talking about when Gore came home two months early and proceeded to flunk out of Vanderbilt's Divinity school.
> Unless you're talking about when Gore came > home two months early He didn't lie about it. If you are unclear about what "lie" means, try to find what the Bush campaign said about Bush's missing year.
Uh, it's the flunking out of divinity school I was talking about. You know, divinity school? The reason he supposedly got out of the military? Guess you stopped reading before you got to that part of the post.
> Uh, it's the flunking out of divinity school I was > talking about. You know, divinity school? The > reason he supposedly got out of the military? I can't find anything about where he lied about it. I'm sure he didn't mention it until someone asked, but I can't find anything about him denying it or trying to hide it from others. It is way different than what Bush the Younger did. We still don't know what he did during that missing year. We don't know why he wasn't declared AWOL. We were given dozens of different explanations. An honest explantion from Bush the Younger would be something like: "I spent years in the ANG in Texas. However, during that time I was personally drifting, doing jobs my father's connections gave me and running companies into the ground. But then I found purpose in my life, and went to the east coast to do [whatever he was doing]. I asked to join a unit in Arkansas, but was told I had to join a more active unit. I was assigned to another unit, but was unable to go because of [whatever reason]. After a year, I get special orders to fulfill all the time I was supposed to have served, so I spend 30 days out of two months on duty. I was then honorably discharged."
