"I got a young man named George W. Bush into the National Guard when I was lieutenant governor of Texas, and I'm not necessarily proud of that, but I did it." - APWhat a good thing it is that Bush wanted to make the Vietnam era such a big issue. Go figure, George received preferential treatment to jump ahead of others already in line. (I wonder how those pushed to the back of the line fared.) It's not like people didn't warn him that if he pushed it too far it would come back to his own record during Vietnam. Let's face it, he brought this issue on himself by his own arrogance. This story is nice timing, just before the convention. We now have moles in the administration, a team that outs CIA agents, a shaky economy, more poor and uninsured, and a man who only knows priviledge. And this is the record that they want to push?

He said he became ashamed after walking through the Vietnam Memorial and looking at the names of people who died.
