1988 Convention: George Bush On National Guard

Whether someone made phone calls on his behalf to get into the national guard: "No I don't think so."

"They should have probably called up the National Guard in those days. Maybe we would have done better in Vietnam."

@mastshke You're an ignoramus. Many companies of National Guardsmen were sent to Iraq and Afghanistan.

much better to volunteer than go to Canada like Clinton or desert and falsify Purple Heart paperwork like Kerry

Nothing wrong with serving in the Nat'l guard. The problem is that when your daddy claims to support a war, as both Quayle and Bush's fathers did, and has no problem sending other peoples' sons off to fight and die but won't do the same for their own sons. If they really believed that Vietnam was worth fighting, why did they work so hard to make sure their own kids never went? It just shows you that a lot of the guys pulling the strings really didn't believe in the war's justness

Clinton was a better president than either Bush.

@swami1 Clinton didn't have a congressman as a father to pull strings for him.

@jasperjava  That's more than Clinton did.
