Default OT - Interesting bio on George Bush.

I agree. For example, the piece mentioned, not for the first time, Dubya's
seeming ducking of his National Guard obligations. I have yet to see, in the
dozens of accounts I've read about this failure to participate, how his
actions deviated from the usual and accepted practice of the time.

In other words, was "everybody" doing what he did or did he really shirk his
obligations and was never called out?
