Bush served in the Military and was discharged honorably...get over it. He
could have chosen not to serve at all and gone off to Oxford.

Sorry. Old man Bush had no influence to get his dumb kid into a school like
Oxford. He could only wheedle Yale and Harvard to let the" c" student in. But
if young Bush didn't have a powerful rich father he never would have gotten
into either school nor the National Guard for that matter.
