Not only that, he used his father's connections to become President and
avoid having to get a real job after being Governor of Texas.

Not everyone. Not my a long shot. While he did seem to shirk some
responsibilities, the record is not quite clear on exactly what
happened.
However, he *was* a youngun. I might have done a stupid thing or
twenty
in
my younger years, too.

It is impossible to be AWOL from the National Guard, as drill attendance
was
optional.

Call it whatever you want. The fact is that, using his father's
connections,
he got placed in the National Guard to avoid the Vietnam draft and even
then
did not have the balls to meet his commitment. Now that may not mean much
to
you, but to me it says a whole lot about character.
