My concern is that neither President did well by his military personel but Bush seems to get a pass because he's better at faking concern for this group and plays the conservative. Bush has credibility among militarists while Clinton did not. I suppose that Bushes absurd spending in related industries creates a positive buzz for him among retired personel in "private" industry that carries over to those who are still serving and hope to cash in after. This line of thinking was sparked by the similarity of the images of the Presidents when Clinton went over for D-Day and Bush went over for VE Day. Somehow Bush is credible when honoring the veterans while Clinton was an obvious fraud... I guess I'm just vocalizing.
