Actually, most of the so-called swifties weren't there, but were on other boats or were folks somewhere in a chain of command. The guys who were there overwhelmingly back Kerry.
Now, try to say that about W's national guard service -- he can't find the guys who were there!
By the way, I find Bush's apparent shirking of his duty astonishing. If you've got to do something, NG is a pretty good gig - a far cry from a sweltering jungle teaming with exotic rodents. I spent my youth around NG camps, hanging out w/ my dad in the BOQ, having underage beers with the guys, learning that trig is good because it helps you blow up surplus equipment with a howitzer. Why would Bush, noted party animal that he was, avoid this? He must have thought it was beneath him or something.

Just not true. First you have to look at which allegation. On the Rassmasan story, for example, although they weren't on the same boat, there were several boats there at the time and they were on the other boats.
For what it's worth, I don't really care about the medal controversy. But I don't see how the accounts of 250 soldiers can be dismissed so easily, and frankly, neither does the general public.
The Bush NG story is irrevelevant, even if true.
