Why is this even a campaign issue?

Bush was in the National Guard. Maybe he got in because of some pulled strings, maybe not. Either way it doesn't really matter.

Kerry was in the Navy. He volunteered. Maybe he got shot at a lot of times, maybe he got shot at a few less times. Either way it doesn't really matter.

Why both sides are devoting so much time to what really amounts to nothing more than a bunch of he-said, she-said, I have no clue.

I personally don't give a shit about some nonsense which may or may not have happened over 30 years ago. I want to know who's going to fix stuff now, in the present day, once they get elected.
