Does refusing to fight in an unjust war (or what now appears to be an unjust war) make him any less of a president, and by that same token does having him being a war hero make him any more of a president. I think that Clinton did a pretty good job, even if he didn't fight in Vietnam. If he did fight in Vietnam would it have made him a better president, unlikely.

To add to that, I think it takes a lot more balls to be a conscientous objector than it does to get into the National Guard and then have daddy pull strings to keep you out of action. Clinton got run over for his military record, maybe Bush should as well?
I agree with what Cow was saying about religion and military service. Its really interesting how those things play out down here. In Canada, Bush would be done for pushing his religious beliefs out front AND for having his father keep his butt out of the war. Down here Bush gets supported for each. Its really strange IMO.
