I honestly don't care if he was in the military or not. I just never remembered it being mentioned. His Father probably sat him down and said... Teddie, if you want to run for political office as I would like you to, you need to serve in the military. Not to be political, but I hope this helps to put a nail in the huge health care proposal and perhaps if they do anything, they look at some incremental changes which is what was suggested to Bush after the illegal alien bill fell on its face.
