Not to diss the National Guard.
Both Dan Quayle and George W. Bush served their country honorably in the NG - while Clinton took a flier...............................
Are there degrees of serving? If so, what are the highest degrees and what president has had those highest degrees? If there are degrees of serving can they also hurt a candidate? Does military service help a president, hurt him, is of no consequence?

i suspect the value of military service is generational. right now, only about 1% of our population serves in the military. the percentage was much higher in my fathers day.

Thats also the biggest reason why the disconnect between the civilian sector and Military/Veterans/Retirees etc is growing.

i agree. and it might have something to do with the high suicide rate among vets.

Oh, Bush's Guard service! Everyone from that period knows the NG was for the guys who weren't gutsy enough to serve in the regular army nor brave enough to resist the system. Rich families got their sons into cushy positions like hot rodding around Texas skies on the tax payers' dime.
Compared to someone like Kerry who not only went into extremely dangerous territory and then actually ran down an enemy soldier and fought one to one. Then he had the courage of his convictions to carry out a drastic and unpopular act for his principles.
My only problem with Kerry is that he went into politics in one of the two parties we need to get rid of.
the armed forces of the us should never have gone to iraq or afghanistan.
