What if Bush had gone to Vietnam? |
|
Suppose he did go to Vietnam and saw combat. What would such an experience have had on such a self-centered, spoiled little rich kid?
Would it have matured and sobered him? Would he have even considered invading Iraq? Or would he have spent his whole tour of duty writing letters home to get his father's connections to get him the hell out of there?

1. We would never have invaded Iraq |
|
anyone who has seen combat realizes it isn't a game.
If Shrub had gone over there, he would have been a far different man than he is. But then he's the man he is in part because he didn't go.

Before tet, he probably would have been court martialed for drugs. After tet, definately fragged.

he would have been fragged. After the guys heard for the 10th time that his grandpa was a senator and his father very important. The guys would have decided it was enough. If not fragged he would have come back a heroin addict.

7. He'd have spent the whole time drugged |
|
Bush is the kind of weak character who couldn't take it.
Assuming he was a soldier, not a pilot. If he'd been a pilot, he'd prolly be the same gung-ho self-centered sleazeball he is now. Maybe a stint in the Hanoi Hilton would have taken him down a few notches.

he would have come back a flashback-plagued, drug-addicted, shell-shocked wreck of a human being.
