I had to smile at Kevin O’Brien’s description of Vice President Dick
Cheney as one who “doesn’t shrink from a fight,” given the fact that he
secured five student deferments during the Vietnam War. Yep, that’s rock
solid proof of his character, courage and integrity.
Ditto for our brave, strong commander in chief, George W. Bush, who,
during the same war as a member of the Air National Guard, helped prevent
Viet Cong insurgents and North Vietnamese Army troops from invading Texas.

Go on repeating the lies, Mr. Pumphrey…what does this matter to anything? Why do you ignore the truth, that George W. Bush served and volunteered, not once, but twice, for service in Viet Nam, only to be truned down, unlike his opponents for President, who did their utmost to avoid service?
