Mind you, I certainly get why Bush Sr. did it; having seen combat himself, he knew what was at stake and was going to pull every string he could to make sure he didn't risk losing his sons to it. He was a father first. But the flip side is that he ensured his son had no idea of what war actually was.

See also, Dick Cheney, who had "other priorities" during Vietnam.

Remember Dan Rather?...lost his job because he tried to tell the truth about Dumya's military service.
And Darth Cheney was a draft dodger..
