I think the Bills went out drinkin afterward.

I have to agree with Bill O. though. You can say W went into the National Guard and trash his record there and you can question his motives for doing so. But, the National Guard was a legitimate alternative to the draft. Conversely and to me, the term "draft dodger" implies if not states that someone did something "bad" to avoid the draft. So, while the National Guard may have not been the be all and end all, W certainly was not a "draft dodger" using the def. above.

Does anyone know know why everyone did not apply for the National Guard? I mean if it guaranteed not going to Vietnam . . .
