The only problem with this is that it's an insinuation that goes against the facts. George Bush volunteered to serve in the National Guard, so if spreading falsehoods (or allowing his cronies to do it for him) is what Kerry believes will help him win the election....

Besides, he's not your typical Vietnam Vet. There are some that love him for what he did, and some that hate him. In the end, it seems he was playing both sides, as he seems to do consistently in his political career.
