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.

Either do some actual homework, Jack, or get a better grade of sitter:

"...pilots from the 147th Fighter Interceptor Group, as it was called at
the time, were actually conducting combat missions in Vietnam at the
very time Bush enlisted. In fact, F-102 squadrons had been stationed in
South Vietnam since March 1962."

" One of the primary ANG units to receive the F-102 was the 111th
Fighter Interceptor Squadron (FIS) at Ellington Air National Guard
Station, which operated the aircraft from 1965 through 1974...he 111th
was and still is part of the 147th Fighter Wing in Houston, Texas. It
was here that George W. Bush was stationed following his enlistment in
May 1968."

"Pilots from the 147th FIG of the Texas ANG were routinely rotated to
Vietnam for combat duty under a program called "Palace Alert" from 1968
to 1970."

If you're looking to "avoid duty in Vietnam", it seems sort of
counterproductive to enlist in a unit that was sending pilots there at
the time you joined.

This information is neither new nor obscure. There's not excuse for your
prattling on and on and on with your line.
