If the roles were reversed, ie Bush had served in Vietnam and Kerry had

No, that's not true, I wasn't all down on Clinton v. BushI or Clinton v.
Dole either and those races were a helluva lot more in context to Vietnam
being that they were close in timeframe and we weren't in the new war on
terror at the time. Regardless of the party and who did or didn't do what,
the premise of going there is faulty - it has no bearing whatsoever on the
time frame of 2005-2009.

You, OTOH, weren't down on Clinton either (almost certainly), but feel like
it's acceptable to be down on Bush for some inexplicable reason.

 I don't give a shit if he was in a Baton Rouge Go-Go Bar tweaking
tassels and chugging down Colt 45's with JD chasers, for most of that time
(hell, maybe he and Bill bought each other a few rounds) ...
