So what? Who sarcastically asked,"What AF Form was this AF FORM LLC? I
can't figure out why guys make stuff up in newsgroups like this...?"

No, the answer still is; so what? That piece of paper did not obligate Bush to
do *anything*.

Answer...it wasn't made up.

No, the document wasn't made up, but the fact that you are trying to create
some kind of commitment from it sure is.

"gwb signed a statement of intent in 1968,
saying he planned to make flying in the TX ANG a life long commitment.

No, he said he was making flying a life long commitment. All he said about the
TANG was that he would serve his entire ADSC/MSO.

There is no evidence that he even attempted to fulfill that "promise."
He never said he lost interest, but his action sure did."

Its already been pointed out to you and several others that the mission of the
111th was changing and would not be condusive to traditional guardsmen. It
appears that even if Bush had wanted to fly more than anyone on the planet he
would not have been able to with the 111th.

**** can't you read BD?

Yes.

He signed the letter that ends "by serving as a memeber of the
Air National Guard as long as possible."

Kind of hard to do if your unit first becomes an RTU, then transitions. I'm
willing to bet there were at least 2 dozen other guys in that unit that wound
up just like Lt. Bush.

Bottom Line: you challenged the veracity of my claim he signed some
bull**** letter...he did.

The letter he signed didn't commit him to anything, you claimed it did.

You BD were left ****ing flat footed, now
arguing the semantics of things I didn't claim.

No, actually you did claim he commited himself for life.

You started off
arguing there was no letter...when confronted with the facts you now
argue what he meant by signing the letter.

I argued that there was no service obligation form where you could commit for
life. I was right.
