I have military service and I respect anyone who did whatever they did in any regular or reserve or guard unit. I do not follow President Bush's military career and know there are some irregularities..perhaps he was a deserter of sorts. I don't know. But he put on the uniform and he learned to fly the planes and I for one will not call him a draft dodger. The positive information is he took on one of the hardest jobs in the military, at least never crashed to my knowledge, and may or may not have been prepared to fly in combat. I don't know what he would have done if he had gotten orders. I personally will give him the benefit of the doubt and if others want to share their military experience as a basis for judging his, have at it. mg
