GWB did not "earn" a commission in the USAF. He didn't go to Officer
Candidate
School, or whatever the AF has.

And his term was -six- years, not 4 1/2.

It's sad that such a person could be the CIC.


Did you find it sad that Clinton was CiC?

I'm sad that he's no longer CiC. Clinton was the best US military
leader since FDR. The Presidents before and after led and are leading
the country from one expensive blunder to another. Were it not for the
two term limitation, he'd still be President--with lots of Republican votes.

Clinton was not a leader of any kind. He was a follower, couldn't do a
thing without running a poll first.

....by doing several, well, *failed* semi-military actions like tossing
cruise missiles at some tents out in the middle of nowhere and doing
pretty much nothing when the US was actually attacked...

So your criteria for "success" seems to be pretty analogous to what most
folks call "failure..."

Walt, I have to wonder why that slack media doesn't get credit for
reporting
that one of Kerry's supervisors in Viet Nam who had written a glowing
fitness
report on him at the time and who now, thirty plus years later, came out
from
under his rock whining that he didn't really mean it and that Kerry
really
did a
lousy job. Doesn't that kind of examination and reporting of minutia
count?
I
think Vietnam IS an issue and it'll remain one.

It definitely is and the Dems need to pound on the fact that Junior did
not
complete his military service honorably.

What military service?

Oh, boy...Art, the originator of that infamous claim that the Guard/Reserve
were doing nothing much during WWII (having completely missed the fact that
the entire Guard and Reserve structure had been mobilized and off to war
some three years before he even became old enough to enter the service), now
wants to go back to his "Guard is not service" BS. Hey, Art, have you
happened to notice what organizations are sustaining disproportionate combat
casualties the last few weeks in Iraq? You might be surprised...

Bush served in the Texas ANG.

It has been demonstrated that Bush completed his military service honorably.
The Democrats are just using an old strategy; repeat a big lie often enough
and eventually some people will believe it. One can hardly blame them, they
can't gain power by telling the truth and they're desperate for power.
