Did Bush really volunteer for pilot service in Vietnam? Serious question.
That seems kind of strange, because one would assume that he could have just gone into the regular Air Force (or Navy aviation) if that's what he wanted. But, you never know.
(Oh, and as for Kerry, the Navy may not have been using the Swift Boats in the same way before he volunteered for them, but I'm pretty sure that even in that "safe duty" they were closer to being shot at by the bad guys then the destroyer he was serving on beforehand.)
