These men fought for America. Now they need you to follow their example. George W. Bush, 2nd LT. Texas Air National Guard (AWOL one year) 1969-1974. (George Bush: I'll go if I'm called- but they have to find me first!) (Man: As the president let 28,000 young men die instead of him, I too will stand aside to let other saps die in Iraq!) Dick Cheney, pulled strings to duck draft. (Man 2: I had other priorities in the '60s than military service.) Tom Delay, spent '60s working as a bug exterminator. (Man 3: I'm dying to kick gook ass- but all the spots in the army were taken by minorities.- yep. he actually said last part.) (Man 4: What does it profit us to defeat evil terrorists abroad if the homeland is overrun with ants, roaches, termites and even centipedes? I will defend us from that threat!!) (Man 5: I want to do my part taking on Saddam- but I have other priorities this decade. Drop me a line in 2011, ok?) Republican draft dodgers: they saved themselves then to lead us into war now!
