This is why I think there is some relevance to the BUSH TANG story

[bluestateguy]

Granted, I'd rather be talking about the current messed up war we are currently engaged in, rather than the messed up war from 35 years ago, but the TANG story also has relevance for the political questions we will face after the election. Namely, what happens if Goerge W. Bush wins and reinstitutes the military draft? Will he have the moral authority to compel young men to go off and fight in a war when he was unwilling to fight in a war he supported? While I will oppose a draft no matter who is president, I will not doubt John Kerry's moral authority to administer a draft. I am also more confident that a Kerry Administration would eliminate most of the loopholes that allow the wealthty and well-connected to weasel out. I hope this is the issue that should be raised, rather than hairsplitting debates over "th"'s and forgeries of documents from 35 years ago.
