No, W failed to meet obligations to the united states government he had signed his name to.

More than once.

This is the nature of the service he has said he's proud of.

Other people who did the same thing got called to active duty.

Do you think his military service record is something someone ought to be proud of? If it was you, would you be proud? At a time when other people, both draftees and volunteers were risking their lives he couldn't even be bothered to meet the obligations he'd signed his name to? Youthful indescretion, I guess.
