And there you have it: the double standard. Your willingness to trust a deserter to act as commander-in-chief is evidence of that.

He hasn't been called on it because it's silly political spin fodder. He did return to his Texas guard unit and served until he requested an honorable discharge, which he recieved. He was an excellent pilot, he did indeed serve, and he doesn't even run the military by himself. Why shouldn't I trust him with the military? Did we lose the last two wars? Sure didn't, he's doing a fine job.
