Would John-John rather that W had gone to Vietnam and assisted when the US soldiers "raped, cut off ears, cut off heads.....cut off limbs,...randomely shoot at civilians, razed villages in a fashion reminescent of Genghis Khan..."

Sorry, but the righteousness of W's Dad on the issue makes it one. Clearly, it was an issue with Clinton, and it was made an issue and repeated quite regularly on the campaign trail. From the fight over that issue, you guys get some nice quotes from John Kerry you can use now. The fact that it didn't hurt Clinton enough so that he lost doesn't mean it wasn't an issue and that it didn't get Bush some support back then.
Now, we will see how the swing voters who heard Bush's Dad and his minions rip into Clinton over the issue feel when the shoe is on the other foot. I suspect that it will cost Bush something, and we will see if it is enough to cost him the election. But I'm really looking forward to hearing Dad on the campaign trail defending his son on this issue. Can you say Hypocrit?
