> [@Priceguy](#): > > Strange. It didn’t use to say that; I’m sure. Must have been changed the last couple of weeks or so. It doesn’t. For me, at least, it says “Yes”. 89% Kerry, 6% Bush. Cutting off my left foot now. 😛 ---

On my results page, it lists George as serving in the military. ---

Yep, it’s changed back now. Oh, and they used to list Kucinich too. If anyone cares, he used to be the guy I agreed with the most. ---

All the people I knew that were in the Guard in the VN era were coal miners, mechanics, retail sailsmen, and one Montgomery-Ward delivery driver. You know, positions of weath and power. ---

slight hijack - > [@sugaree](#): > > My uncle was in the Guard circa '68, and he a mill worker’s son with no connections whatsoever. My dad was Guard around the same time, and he got in only because his brother was killed in Viet Nam. And it wasn’t easy - he was assigned to places to back-fill slots that were emptied from active duty soldiers… For many, the Guard was honorable and hard work, and some guard units did deploy to Viet Nam (the National Guard has had soldiers in combat in every war the US has ever fought in). I just don’t think Bush served honorably and I think he would have been drafted and sent to war if not for political reasons. end hijack My score was 78% Kerry, 18% Bush. Anything wrong with that math? ---

> [@GomiBoy](#): > > My score was 78% Kerry, 18% Bush. Anything wrong with that math? The numbers aren’t supposed to add up to anything; they’re merely what percentage of issues you agree with each candidate on. I took it when Kucinich was on there, and I got: Kucinich: 98% Kerry: 84% Bush: 0% Never been happier to get a zero in my life. :bigthumb: ---

On PresidentMatch, 70 Bush, 21 Kerry - no surprise there. And it does have Bush as Serving in the Military. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/i-pit-that-stupid-voter/264738.md?page=2)
