Presidential Debate

[Sir_Die_alot]

Um...  my programming career isn't going all that great, (no jobs out here since the dot com crash) so I'm considering joining the military before I'm too old.  You know, new life direction and all that.

I decided, however, to wait for the election before making any immediate decisions.  If Bush wins, I'll be less happy about the prospects of signing up.  Bush went AWOL from the guard and he gets his advice from neocons who have a vile world agenda.  (Instead of his generals, for instance.)

I think Kerry, a former soldier himself (and yet, still capable of thinking for himself.  Kerry can think for himself, while Bush's ass must be sore from all the people using him as a hand puppet.) might be a little more responsible about how he uses America's military might.

If you believe the memos from Dan Blather why don’t you believe the hundreds of people at Swift Vets and POWs for Truth? This was started by swift boat veterans (that is what Kerry's Vietnam service consisted of if you are not aware), and most of the veterans who served with Kerry do not want him as president. If you want to eat the mud thrown you should really digest it all, not just that you find politically appetizing.

Personally, I believe both to a degree. So in the end we are stuck between someone who slacked his way through the last years of his service, and a glory hound who exaggerated his 4 months in Vietnam. Neither of those count for much to me, so as far as millitary records go it's a wash for both.
