I'll go further than Irishsean. I think Bush dodged the draft and pops probably called in some favors to get him in the air national guard. I'm not convinced that it was a conscience effort on W.'s part to avoid service, though. I think Bush has done cocaine in his wilder days, and that may be one of the reasons he didn't want to release his full medical records. I think some of his volunteer work in his early years may have been mandatory community service, and that there might be more dirt that can be dug up in his and Laura's past.
I still think he makes a better president than Kerry would.
