As a voice of reason in this whole tempest - does GWB's
assignment to an obsolescent platform have anything to do with this
fulfillment of duty ?

I wasn't aware that anyone's "dream sheet" was ever a sure
thing ? Didn't he take what he was told to, i.e. the Deuce ? It sounds
like the luck of the draw to me...

Well he was in a Guard unit. There is no dream sheet or assignment process.
If a guard unit accepts you for a pilot slot, you go to UPT, then RTU for that
particular aircraft.
