Colin Powell was once outraged by elites who "wrangle slots in Reserve

Guard units." Now he defends George Bush, who wrangled himself into a
Guard
unit.
By John Greeley

Powell should be outraged at people who "wrangle" Guard slots to avoid
other
duty to which they have been called. What evidence is there that Bush
"wrangled" (used undue influence) his Guard slot? Many people joined the
Guard/Reserve during that period without "wrangling".

There was a waiting list for those slots at that time, and his application
found
its way to the top of the pile in no time flat and clearly out of turn.

Sons of decorated pilots always get that treatment.
