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.


Just for the sake of accuracy, it wasn't a term, it was a commitment.
Unless
the definitions have changed, terms apply to enlistments and commitments
apply
to lengths of service. In any event, whatever you choose to call it, he
didn't
complete it.

Can you really blame him? He was the son of an important family with
important things to do. Paying Bush to sip around in a Deuce was a waste
of resources. There was no way that the Bush scion would ever find him
self in harm's way. Didn't it make more sense to use that fuel and the
airframe hours to train someone who might one day be willing to serve
his or her country?

How could I possibly argue with such obvious logic, Mike? (^-^)))
