Re: National Guard
AL Gore was in the Military, made it to VIETNAM in was in the combat front
lines.
There is a BIG dfference between Al Gore and Ted WIlliams.
They made it to the front lines
Now compared that to GwB and DnQ that made it to the front of Bars.
If you happened to read Mr Clintons letter without Rush Limbaugh
embelishment
you will see Mr. Clintons intention. He was at least he up front and honest
about them.
Along with rest of the USA population about Vietnam.
If anyone continues to put out false data I will be happy to correct it.
