Bush was in a chamgaigne unit to avoid the draft. Plain and simple.

A unit that was, at the time he joined, sending pilots on tours to Viet
Nam, among other places, in the Palace Alert program.

You keep forgetting that...

No, I didn't forget that. F-102 jocks flying recce in Viet Nam needed
500 hours in the aircraft. George W. Bush had less than 300 when he
refused his annual flight physical. My point was not against those
flying the F-102 in the ANG. Many of them did stand up and fight when
called.. George W. Bush simply wasn't one of them.


To know the neocon chickenhawks ....... watch what they do .... not
what they say...... Jack



A fighter piot who never fought is like a bombardier who never flew a bomb run
or a navigator who never plotted a course. WORTHLESS
