Why did Bush join the National Guard instrae do the Army, Navy or Air
Force?
why?


Why do you believe that everyone who served in the National Guard during
Vietnam is some kind of traitor?

Bush was a fighter pilot for 3 years, carrying out a vital national
interest
during the cold war. And we all know that the F102 was not a particularly
safe, nor easy to fly aircraft. This is not the profile of someone who
shuns
either danger or responsibility, nor of one who lacks intelligence.

And for the record, when a proposal was floated to send F102s to Vietnam,
Bush put his name in as a volunteer, however the powers that be decided
not
to use the plane.

Bush refused to vounteer. And he did it in writing.

You have just lied again, and you did it in writing. Bush did volunteer;
first for the Guard, then for flight duty, and finally, he tried to do so
for Palace Alert.
