Draft Dodger Misses Troops.

"I admire our military a lot," says former U.S. President George W. Bush

"There is only one thing that I really miss about being president, and that's being the commander-in-chief. I admire our military a lot," Bush said. "When you are the commander-in-chief, at a time when I was, when you put them into a lot of combat situations, you develop a special bond, not only with the military but with their families."
