Privilege and the Vietnam War

"I got a lot of other people in the National Guard because I thought that was what people should do when you're in office, you helped a lot of rich people," he said. " ... I'm very sorry of that and I'm very ashamed of it and I apologize to the voters of Texas for that."
-- Jim Vertuno for the AP
The man quoted above is Ben Barnes, a Democrat who was once the Texas House Speaker. Dubya was one of the ones he helped.
One supposes that this story of Dubya's service will only be a colorful footnote in this history, as it wasn't unusual for the connected and wealthy to enjoy such privilege. Clinton's personal history on this question wasn't more noble. But as Kristof of the NY Times closes his column today on the subject:
"Does this disqualify Mr. Bush from being commander in chief? No. But it should disqualify the Bush campaign from sliming the military service of a rival who still carries shrapnel from Vietnam in his thigh."
( Kristof's column )
