[QUOTE="TechGrrl, post: 591826, member: 4932"] [b]Re: Obamanation here today[/b] Get real, Tieguy! The National Guard is a fine example of the military. I was not generalizing about all National Guard soldiers, I was being very specific about one individual, the ex-President of the United States, George W. Bush. Who was able to pull strings to get a cushy billet in the Texas Air National Guard so that he didn't have to go to VietNam with his contemporaries. And then went AWOL and didn't even finish his hitch. And avoided any consequences for that, again due to his connections. Then there was Dick Cheney, who 'had other priorities' and couldn't find it in himself to sign up for the war he supported so strongly. Too many 'patriots' like these talk a good war, but are really really really good at sending other kids to fight them. [/QUOTE]
