LOL! What a moron.
In 1970, with his last deferment in jeopardy, he landed a coveted spot in the Marine Reserve, which virtually guaranteed that he would not be sent to Vietnam. He joined a unit in Washington that conducted drills and other exercises and focused on local projects, like fixing a campground and organizing a Toys for Tots drive.
He sounds just like George W. Bush.
Hardly (...that'd be not-hardly, for Bush-fans....)
"There are several odd gaps in Dumbya's past, but there is no more fuzzy period than the year from May 1972 to May 1973. In April of '72 he began drifting away from military service, although there were still two years remaining in his hitch. Bush apparenly didn't report once for duty for over seven months, even skipping his mandatory annual physical. They call this AWOL, say critics.
There are two ways to look at this military record. Bush defenders say that he was honorably discharged from the Texas National Guard -- end of story. Others angrily see Bush as a slacker who ducked even the lightweight service that spared him from the Vietnam War."
