"You probably thought that after I brought it up last month and then got slammed by Peter Jennings for uttering the "d" word, the whole matter would just disappear as fast as a bag of blow being thrown out the window of a speeding car on a deserted Maine highway." -a reference to a totally unsubstantiated allegation.
"THAT is what makes this whole business of your being AWOL so despicable, and makes the grief-stricken relatives want to turn away from you in disgust. The reason your skipping-out on your enlistment didn't matter in the 2000 election was because we were not at war. Being stuck in a deadly, daily quagmire now in 2004 makes your military history-fiction and your fly-boy costume VERY relevant." -every account of the feelings of the surviving relatives I've read was positive with one or two exceptions.
"Was it the urine test?" - I doubt it! Manditory urinalysis didn't start in the military until 1982.
"Where are the sign-up sheets that would have your name and service number on them for each weekend you showed up?" -What a coincidence! I don't have any payroll stubbs, report cards, or anything else I can think of from 1973!
"But we don't. And our troops in the National Guard don't either" - I wish people (and I use that term loosely here) who have never worn a uniform would stop speaking for those of us that do!
These losers wil NEVER accept any answer they are given! When they ran Gore against Bush in 2000, they painted Bush as an idiot, and called him junior! albert gore JR had fewer degrees than G.W.Bush (son of G. H. Bush). They seem to delight in overlooking the HISTORICAL FACT that Saddam HAD WMD, and had used them on numerous occaisions. They like overlooking the fact that Clinton, Gore, Daschle, Kerry, Leiberman ALL stated before the invaision (or at least before Bush got in office) that Saddam was working on rebuilding his arsenal, and needed to be stopped! And left-wing pansies like this insist on making it sound like the WMD issue was a whole-fabric lie perpetrated solely by the Bush administration! If the intelligence was flawed, WHO gutted the CIA (Clinton, Gore, Kerry) If the Clinton administration had such a high priority on Osama, WHY did they turn down (multiple times) offers by the Sudanese government to turn him over? WOW! they knew he was thinking about striking in the U.S.! Remember the FIRST WTC bombing? He was involved in that too! that was when he first hit our radar as a threat. There were warnings (unsubstantiated) that he might be plotting to crash a plane into a target. Considering the warnings you see at every airport about the security at Lagos, Nigeria, an attack on one of our embassies overseas would have been alot more logical. I wish people would stop trying to make him sound stupid, and a maniacal super-intellect all in the same breath! it makes it hard to figure out which crock of excrement to overturn first!
