That's the fact and you can sit on it and rotate moron.
The closest Shrub came to combat was pretending like he was still a pilot when he landed on an aircraft carrier for his infamous "MIssion Accomplished" speech. As for his military service, his story is the same as Reagans: he used his father's celebrity and connections to avoid combat and serving in Vietnam and got a plum National Guard assignment....and he couldn't even manage to show up and finish that obligation.
And, what's pathetic is you using the D-Day anniversary to act like Reagan did shit worth mentioning in the war or the invasion. He did neither and doesn't deserve to be mentioned in the same sentence with D-Day veterans.
Those are the facts fuckface.....shove them up your ass one at a time.

Since you like to dig up these little facts; George W. Bush flew the F-102 in the Guard. The F-102 Delta Dagger was designed for continental defense and not ground combat. It service in Vietnam was limited pretty much to bomber escort. By the time that Lt. Bush had gotten certified both LBJ and Nixon had decided to pull the F-102 from Vietnam and start them on the road to decommissioning. They were retired from service around 1976. Bush never qualified to transfer to Vietnam. They required at least 500 hours of flying time but Bush, reportedly, never got more than 400.
I also notice that you like to use loaded words; "dodged" (I thought you were talking about Clinton), "pranced" (Obama reference?), "propaganda" (is that a negative to you?) and then you say he lied about his service. Something that bald faced has to have a citation with it. Where is it?

Found it for you. Now this writer dances around the question but cut to the last four or five paragraphs and he gets to the meat. There is some debate about whether Reagan SAID that he was at a concentration camp. That claim came from an Isreal reporter who was not completely fluent in English. What came out was that Reagan was telling the Isreali leader was that he had footage of the death camps in case someday it was necessary to prove their existence. The second part has been confirmed but the first part, that Reagan said he filmed, is lost in history. I would say it has been debunked but you will not agree since you want (really?) to hurt Reagan and his memory.
