As the smear campaign against Kerry continues, as operatives for the Bush campaign continue to attack Kerry’s military record, let’s keep one thing in mind:

“I was not prepared to shoot my eardrum out with a shotgun in order to get a deferment. Nor was I willing to go to Canada. So I chose to better myself by learning how to fly airplanes." George W. Bush on why he joined the Texas Air National Guard during the Vietnam War, 1990.
