Feb. 23, 2005 Some decry George W. Bush's National Guard service during the Vietnam War. From April 1972 to May 1973, no one saw him show up to serve, but he served our country then as well as Dan Quayle. His daddy's V-P protected Indiana's golf courses from military invasion. W did no less. In fact, he did more. A patriot, like George W. Bush, may serve our country in other ways, besides obligated military service. He may not have made it to the armories or airfields in Alabama, but he did serve -- and volley -- tennis balls with the daughters of Alabama Republicans. Every day, W forthrightly faced the risk of dehydration in the hot sun. Sometimes, he even evinced humility -- or inebriation -- by sacrificing his game to the young women. Hold a tennis ball in your hand. Picture our president's sacrifice away from the Alabama armory, away from the planes, very far away from Vietnam. Swatting tennis balls with young misses in the safe suburbs, he shielded them from our seedy cities. In only his early 20's, Bush sacrificed for his country -- club. Today, W continues to serve our country's country clubs. Those born to wealth, like W, have received huge tax cuts while everybody else receives less. He's reduced funding for toddlers' shots, veteran's health benefits, lunch program pots -- and much else. Years ago, his sacrifices on tennis courts made him sweat. Today, our sacrifices to survive his governance make us cry. ------------ About the author: Boleslaw Schlabatinskyskya is a poltical commentator's alias, lest anyone accuse him of writing BS, he can reply that those are his initials.
