But Bush is asleep at the wheel while while al qaeda makes probing attacks and builds its worldwide infrastructure, with US soldiers dying in Iraq for nothing. |
Al Qaeda's worldwide network was in place long before Bush took the helm, and would have gained in strength had we stayed out of the Middle East.

No wonder morale is low and desertion rates are high.

I believe it's been shown that desertion rates are actually very low, and recent indications are that morale among the military is on the upswing (Get your own (*)(*)(*)(*)ed links -- and make sure they are current and unbiased!)

But I think the deserters think they can get away with it while serving under a Vietnam War Deserter CIC napping in the White House while they die.

Don't worry. If Bush had been called to active duty, he would have been over there with the rest of the cannon fodder, if he wished to stay in the service. In the last year or two of Vietnam, combat pilots of all services were resigning their commissions in droves to go into civilian flying jobs because of the crappy way Johnson & McNamara, et al, were running the war (actually not running it).
