Why say that Pongo? Are you implying thats how I would behave?   I agreed with large number of things Clinton, he is a Democrat, did and I disagreed with some too. But yes I imagine all of the partisan types would switch sides, and it would be the same just reversed.

Give him credit for pulling it off. Imagine the thoughts of the people who protect him, "we're going where?, when?, boy, this guy has some balls".

It shows the troops that they are not alone in taking all the risk while the decision makers sit in a cozy office.

Big salute to the Commander in Chief for his Thanksgiving morale booster with the troops in the field.  Whatever he does, some will like it and some won't.  Democracy at work.

That's odd.  I've never seen any documents charging Bush of being AWOL.  Could you give me some links?

This makes him brave and have big balls?  LMAO!

As if he not going to be completely safe.  He's probably one the most protected individuals in the world.  Give me a break.  The people he sent to war are the ones with the balls.

I'm curious what the visit by the US CinC does for morale of the troops?

Just asking, since it doesn't seem like a factor that would improve morale. Getting real cooked food every day, some beer, and a set of brand new body armor with invincibility mode certainly would be a morale booster for me... I just don't understand how the president does anything for morale?

Pongo, thanks for making me a part of every post.

I'm honored.

I actually think there's better lines in that thread to quote but it's your sig.
If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude than the animated contest of freedom, go from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains sit lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen!

What I figure happened is that Bush did do some sort of guard duty but his political background helped make sure he didn't goto Vietnam.

Great links.  All they prove was Bush was in the service.

Now you say he did do guard duty?  Do you even know what AWOL means?  

So, I ask again, are you going to substantiate your claims that Bush was AWOL, or should I just file your baseless accusations over there with  Manedunce's blather?

They don't know what the heck to do.  Unemployment rate dropping faster than they can track, all the Democratic candidates making fools of themselves.

Not a good time to be a Lib.
