Reply #31: AWOL and "draft-dodging" are two very different things. [View All]

Bush signed a contract and he didn't fulfill it. He broke the law. A 100% legal deferment for a health problem is perfectly acceptable. But then, I would respect him just as much, if not more, if he had gone to Canada or been a conscientious objector. That's called sticking up for your principles. Going AWOL/Deserting your duty station to party or whatever is just plain irresponsible and dishonest (and a crime under UCMJ)

To call Dean an draft dodger is a cheap, dishonest smear. His back problem is real (ever notice his lack of a neck?) They wouldn't have let him serve.

Also that you campare an upstanding American like Dean to a lying, murdering piece of filth like Bush is sooo disgusting and insulting to Dean, and to all democrats.
