Bush flew fighter jets, but never over VIETNAM.

When I clicked the link and scrolled down it shows a box outlined in red that
says:

"I do/do not volunteer for overseas service."

Bush checked "Do not".

More spin. So why do you think that is important? Probably 75% of the guys in
the ten or so fighter squadrons I was in were non-volunteers.

Walt you are really grasping for straws, hanging on opinions from spinmakers,
and totally out of touch with what went on in the military during the Vietnam
era.

The records of Gore, Bush, Kerry, and the actions of Clinton all seem fishy to
me though I take far less umbrage to Bush's service than I do the otheres
because I know of others who followed the same path as he did conmpletely
within the "system". What matters is what has happened in the last decade. So
far as defense is concerned I see little in Kerry's record that would give me
much comfort in that regard.

It's not spin. I didn't keep track, but someone said that Bush volunteered for
overseas service. Maybe he did, but in February, 1968, he declined to do so.

I've seen no proof that he ever did.

Someone said, huh? Must be the truth if "someone" says so
