1. You forgot George W. Bush....Absent Without Leave (at worst) during a War

in the Texas Air National Guard...At best, he just didn't feel like flying fighter jets anymore and went to Alabama. Who tha f*ck does that?? Most military-type guys would kill to be a real-life fighter pilot (me included - I loved F-15s); this dude gets trained to be one and just walks away?

And he wasn't even facing combat because his unit wasn't even flying front-line fighters.

2. Chickenhawks, every last one of them

Stuffed suits. Elitists who compensate for being cowardly little men by playing with power.

Not one of them has a clue what it takes to wear a uniform proudly and never will. Not one of them has earned the right to send our troops into battle.

And AWOL Bush** is worst of all, for disgracing the uniform and making out that he's some sort of military icon when he couldn't even been bothered to show up for stateside duty during a time of war.
