HE DID NOT SERVE

These stories are nothing more than what myself and other soldiers in my company have been saying about Bush LONG before he invaded Iraq. He was a wimpy draft dodger who joined the guard to get out of going over to 'Nam.

Nowadays, being in the Guard isn't a safe haven from the war anymore. I've served with hundreds of deployed Guardsmen, and did so proudly. Much to my suprise they do a very good job as combat arms soldiers. I won't go into too much detail as to how I know this, but believe me, they do alright for themselves.:)

Good rhyme.
