Its funny...
Bush, during his service, didn't really serve.
Clinton during his avoidance and protestation of the VietNam war probably did more for the personnel of the armed forces (not necessarily for the service) than Bush did.

AS an active duty service member I think what bothers me the most is that he refused to answer that one simple question about whether or not he used drugs. If he is serious about the Commander in Chief of the armed forces role, then he should be willing to answer the same question that all enlisted and officer candidates have to answer. Are you now using or have you ever used illicit drugs (simplified).
This simple question has precluded many people from serving for youthful indiscretion.
