This story may be true but it is going nowhere anyway. It's too complicated for the public to digest and sounds like bureaucratic nonsense. The issue of Bush's service has already been brought up and digested by the public and this will seem like more of the same but with less impact. It sounds like carping.
Furthermore the public is already confused by the new reality. Let's see, the Democrat went to Vietnam while the Republican avoided service; can we digest that? The Democrat who did go to war is now antiwar while the Republican who avoided service is now pro-war, can we digest that? The Democrat who went to war presses his war service as patriotic and evidence that he will defend the country, spoke against war and threw away medals, can we digest that?
