I'm tired of Kerry talking about his Vietnam service...

I don''t remember Bush Sr or Dole wearing a flight suit on a aircraft carrier either. I think it''s apples and oranges.

I do not remember Bush Sr. or Dole talking about their service record. They just didn''t do it.

Yeah, they both did it. I remember it. It''s not an issue like it is now, but it''s a natural part of a campaign and both guys talked about it to let the voters know a bit about their background. Bush mentioned it in his nomination acceptance speech, and it was featured prominently in some of his campaign brochures. Dole has always spoken freely about it, and has been very vocal the last few years, in support of the WWII memorial. It''s an important part of his life and he discusses it as such.

Bush was a pilot.
