Was there something wrong about what he did?
Because draft dodging Clinton hadn't been elected yet.

BTW - Where/when did eligible Joe Biden serve? Any photos of him in rice paddies?

Didn't you know? Him and Cheney were in the same platoon.
Thousands of National Guardsmen served in Vietnam and the names of more than a few are engraved on the Vietnam Memorial wall. Those who signed up for the Guard before their draft numbers came up did not remove themselves from the risk of active duty but did prepare themselves for that eventuality while completing college or whatever other project they had going. And there were ample vacancies in the Guard too not requiring any 'high level' intervention to sign up for the Guard in most units. Certainly not everybody or even most guardsmen were from privileged families.
It is even worse for the National Guard in Iraq and Afghanistan with a much higher deployment rate and a much higher casualty rate.
The National Guard is a perfectly honorable and legitimate way to choose to serve your country when you have no interest in a military career.
The fact remains that Kerry served in combat in Viet Nam, and his service to the country was denigrated. I note that none of the swift boaters actually served with him and the ones who actually did campaigned for him. The swift boat group was just a well funded smear group.
Max Cleland was smeared several times by the right. He was referred to as the Democrat's favorite victim. He was accused of blowing himself up in order to drink beer.
Max Cleland and John Kerry are just two famous examples. There are others. The right is just as guilty as the left.
The fact remains is Kerry tossed his medals and took sides with Hanoi Jane, asslips. Thousands of our guys got killed because of their state-side stupidity.
Fact.
Suck on it.
Hey Warrior, where did you serve?

I don't understand it, they keep deploying and redeploying the same people into the hotzones. Back during Vietnam, you went once and your time was over, you survived that once and you were safe. Not anymore. I can't see why anyone would willingly go into the service today. So many benefits have been taken away and their lives are at much higher risk than ever before.

Hey Warrior, where did you serve? You remind me of a buddy I had in the Navy. We called him Fucking Harry Fucking O'Rourke. Loved the guy, but he was the most profane guy I ever met.
BTW, suck my dick!

He didn't. It was back in the days of DADT. They told him to just stay home.

I served mainly on ships out of Norfolk, on Med cruises. One tour in Japan, a couple stateside assignments.
How about you, skidmark?

I was an Airdale. Served on the America and the Eisenhower with Fighter Squadron 142. Did a couple Med cruises and floated around the Indian Ocean while the Iranians had the hostages. We got there a couple days after the Nimitz launched the failed rescue attempt. When I wasn't at sea, I was mostly at NAS Oceana, dicklips.

Oh, an Airdale. My condolences. When you guys were inport, we really appreciated all those blowjobs you gave behind the dumpsters on Pier 12. Thanks for your service to the fleet, dickwad.
. Thanks for your service too, fuckface.
Leave Dan the hell alone. I was in the TEXARNG for 6 years, 3 of them is what we called the ready reserve. I had to be ready to deploy in 48 hours. We volunteered and were ready to serve that is a lot more than the a lot of the presidents we have had including the current one. Find something else to complain about.

Smearing is in the minds eye of the beholder, and this OP is about military service not ordinary political mud slinging. What smear did the right perpetrate against Cleland that dishonored his military service?
He was not accused of blowing himself up in order to drink beer; please show a credible link on that. It's so much easier to tell the truth, that he lost limbs when a fellow soldier in a noncombat situation accidentally dropped a grenade near him. Maybe you're mixing Cleland with Kerry who injured himself when he threw a concussion grenade into a rice pile, something he admitted to later.
