Questions still remain, of course. Why did the military let him skip town without punishment? Why are those who criticized Clinton for draft-dodging so willing to defend Bush?
Questions for another thread -- perhaps one that already exists.

Honorably Discharged by the way. 
Bush didn't really skip town, he informed his direct superiors who approved his leave (to go help a family friend campaign), but was later denied by higher ups. Course this was later on, and he did return to finish his service.
This subject isn't brought up very often, probably because everytime a liberal does about 90 conservatives remind them their hero Mr. Clinton just flat out ran to Canada.
