I would agree with that statement, but it's often thought that Bush (like some others in his era) joined the N.G. at that time to avoid being drafted. His student eligiblility from being drafted was about up when he entered. I don't expect someone to serve in the military just "because their dad did."
My own dad was drafted during Vietnam and discharge/ineligible for medical reasons. Like many people, both of my grandfathers served in WWII.
I guess I still don't understand what are his circumstances? That he could barely pass the pilot exam?
