US President George W. Bush has said he would love to fight in Afghanistan if he was younger.
President Bush suggested fighting on the frontline was "romantic" during a video conference with US military and civilian personnel in the war-torn country.
"I must say, I'm a little envious," he said.
"If I were slightly younger and not employed here, I think it would be a fantastic experience to be on the front lines of helping this young democracy succeed.
"It must be exciting for you ... in some ways romantic, in some ways, you know, confronting danger. You're really making history, and thanks."
I want to vomit after reading this.

President Bush probably regrets he wasn't chosen to go to Viet Nam when he was in the Texas Air Guard, even though he volunteered.

He had the chance, blew it by going AWOL, but thinks he can somehow redeem himself and rid his conscience of the shame by starting unnecessary wars an positioning himself as the "war president"... when he could have spared the countries he's attacked and spared the country he supposedly represents, if he had only been the man he wished he could have been when it counted. Too late for that.

The words of a naive psychopath. There is nothing "romantic" about the slaughter and waste of war.

He specifically and definitively rejected overseas duty in writing.
He regrets nothing.
It was his choice.

You assume bush is in fact in command. He is just a pawn in the game. The Neo-Cons are running the scam and Cheney is the real president. and they will rot in hell for their crimes.

You need to give this topic a rest. At least two prominant feds have repeatedly admitted to dodging the draft:
BILL "Lying Lawyer" CLINTON
DICK "GFYS" CHENEY
And your Chief Justice says he had better things to do than go to Vietnam.
