OK....we'll amend that.

Gotcha

Wrong again Pete.... let me explain. During the Vietnam era very few
ANG units participated in the war...and certainly no interceptor units
of the type Bush was shuttled into. He was in that unit specifically
to avoid duty in Vietnam. That is why, among many other reasons, I
have no respect at all for the man.... and Dick Cheney, well, his
statement that he had "other priorities" speaks for itself and needs
no further explanation.

I spent 28 years in the military and have nothing but admiration and
respect for those who serve. However, during that time in our nations
history, I do not respect or admire those, like Bush, who used the
national guard as a safe haven to protect only themselves.

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