It's just neocon bitterness from a president and vice president who ever went
to war when they damn well should have. You couldn't kick too hard with Bush going into the Air Guard -- those Century series fighters -could- easily kill you (so I hear). But Bush skated out on the last two years of his six year commitment, but then has the gall to attack Senator Kerry's service. That needs to be confronted. Bush skipped the last two years of his commitment. He didn't even go through an officer candidate course. When I say that Bush attacked Kerry's record, I mean of course that the Bush campaign attacked Kerry. Bush probably has a little to do with this as he does with carrying out his presidential functions, which seem to be to act just as a figurhead. Walt |

Whence he graduated in circa 1970. And the draft ended when exactly? Hmmm? Edwards in 51 YO. That would put him in the 1971 HS class. The draft ended in 1972. Walt |

Ask yourself this question: how would you feel if your crew got to go home after 3 months overseas, and you had to stay for duration plus six months? Would you say "they went to war" as excited as you are about JFKerry? Always wondered about that early departure. Can anyone explain? I think the story is, that he found out that you could request assignment out of a war zone upon the award of three purple hearts. He then went to sick call every time he got a scratch. |

The "six week basic air man's (sic) course" is OTS.
Bush's military resume says he was enlisted prior to 3 September 1968. This is the link: http://users.cis.net/coldfeet/doc14.gif I went to Officer Candidate School at Quantico. I was never (for that purpose) considered as an enlisted man. Now there -are- some differences between the Army/Air Force and Marines/Navy terminology and methodology. You might also use the correct terminology while spouting your propaganda. The commissioning course is Officer Training School, not Officer Training School which was the term during WW II for Army "90 day wonders". Oh, it wasn't Officer Training School, it was Officer Training School? Again, officer candidates in the Marines/Navy are -not- considered to be enlisted members. Are you categoricially saying that ANG, Air Force or whatever -- that those officer candidates -are- enlisted men? James Webb has also said that Bush did not attend an officer candidate course. I'll stick with that. Walt |

From: (WalterM140) Date: 7/11/2004 6:03 AM Pacific Standard Time Message-id: But it was not manditory, a sharp troop with a good record and test taking capability had a good chance. Bush scored in the lowest percentile allowed to qualify for pilot training. He did not complete any sort of officer qualification course. Walt And he was a "C: student through school.
