Let's see now, Bush left the National Guard early to go to graduate
school

Not quite the case. Bush transferred from the ANG to the inactive
reserve, and served an additional six months beyond his six-year
obligation.

Kerry got an early out, as a matter of fact. Most servicemen did in
those years. I am probably the only draftee who actually served my
full 730 days, plus a day (drafted in a leap year).

all the best -- Dan Ford
