....... you never hear about the several times Bush took the wheel when his guardsmen buddies were too hammered to drive. Yup, old Dubya was the best damned shit-faced driver in his battalion but he'd never stoop to exploiting it for political purposes.
If they gave out purple hearts for hangovers, Bush* would have been the most decorated soldier of the Vietnam era.
Wesley Clark is definitely the best general running for president, bar none! Unfortunately, many voters don't relate to his penchant for equating everything to how he ran military facilities. In regular life we have hospitals, not sick bays; stores and not PX's; jails and not brigs or guardhouses; cafeterias and not mess halls. To us debates start at 7 o'clock and not 1900 hours.
And some of us are just a tad nervous about a man who served in Vietnam, saw what took place over there and then deemed the military a sane career choice. Many of the nervous people are Vietnam vets.
