Why is it OK for GWB to ask for an early out to go to grad
school, when he had not seen any combat; while it is not OK for
Kerry to ask for an early out to run for office, when he had been
in combat and been decorated.

I don't think anyone is complaining, merely pointing it out to the Bush
bashers who say he shirked his duty by leaving the Guard early.

Because Republicans are allowed to and Democrats are not? (^-^)))

Why is it okay to slam Bush for his Guard service while praising Kerry
for his Navy service?

I didn't know you could get an early out to run for office. Talk about
privilege!

I got an early out from the Navy in early 1971 just for breathing. The
Navy ran out of money and had layoffs.

I think at that point the entire military was drastically
overstaffed and pathetically grateful to anyone who volunteered to
leave.
I'm not sure what "privilege" means in this context. Is the
implication that somebody else would not have been permitted to
leave for the same reason?
