Are Bush and Cheney complete hypocrits.

The current U.S. administration has no qualms about sending young men and women into combat, where thousands have died and tens of thousands have been seriously wounded. Because of IEDs, there are many with Traumatic Brain Injuries(over 7500) who will be significantly disabled for life.

However when it was their time to serve they turned their back on America. Bush hid out in the Texas National Guard, where by his own admission he spent his time "with my ass semi-permanently attached to a barstool". He wasn't even able to meet his commitment to the Guard and lost his flight statis after he tested positive for cocaine use.

Cheney got a total of five- yes count them, five -draft deferments.

Does this make them the most hypocritcal leaders in U.S. history?

Couldn't send him off, his future contribution to world peace was too important.

I like what Prince Whathisface is doing, going to Iraq. Good on him to walk the walk.
