Title

"Bush National Guard" radio episode

Description

An audio recording by Oregon Congressman Les AuCoin on President Bush's controversial National Guard record as a young man despite his support of the Vietnam War.

Further, AuCoin criticizes Bush for calling out the patriotism of his critics while having avoided the Vietnam War himself. This is one episode from AuCoin's biweekly radio show on Jefferson Public Radio (JPR), which ran after he had retired from office. The majority of episodes feature his commentary on current political events, often focusing on issues important to southern Oregon where JPR is based. This episode aired in 2004.
