Sorry, you can't have it both ways here...
There is no "both ways". John Kerry has always said that people had a right to avoid service if they did it legally. Kerry chose to serve his country in Vietnam.

Right wingers have always said that dodging Vietnam made a person not worthy of being president.

If right wingers think that dodging Vietnam means you shouldn't be president and they have a choice between a war hero and a Vietnam dodger, then it is right wingers being hypocritical supporting the person who avoided vietnam and then went missing from their National Guard service.

The hypocrisy here is from those who said one thing a few years ago and now they say the opposite.

Bush supporters trapped themselves with their own words and now they look like idiots.
