A guy could work up a perspiration at OCS. I've been to OCS, and I've served two tours in combat, once as an enlisted man, and once as a Lt. I can tell you that OCS is worth the time. When you enter a ground battle with a bunch of teenagers, you better have taken the drill at OCS to heart. OCS is a leadership school. Someone who rode around in an airplane wouldn't know the complexity of herding 40 to 80 men to their certain death to win a battle. The one thing I can say about Bush, is that he was never a communist. I can't say the same about JFKerry. I don't vote for communists, pinko's, or listen much to people like you who do. Now go cash your welfare check, while the rest of us are productive in life. |

High powered jets will kill you for any number of seemingly minor lapses in concentration, judgement, or luck. I have huge respect for a 65 hp, high wing, 39 mph stall speed J-3 Piper Cub. Any airplane can kill you, though the Cub is probably the least effective pilot-killer in the business. Crikey, only three weeks ago I was tying it down, and the dang thang put me in the emergency room with seven stitches on the outside of my scalp and a tied-off vein on the inside.

Bush skipped out on the last two years of his commitment. That's one problem. Walt |

from college in 1968 in Arizona. Did you go to Officer Candidates School? Bush 43 did not. Walt A guy could work up a perspiration at OCS. Some of these people want to say Bush got no special treatment, but I don't know of any one who ever (at least since WWII) who got lieutenant's bars without going through OCS or some sort of officer qualification program. Bush went through a six week basic air man's course, and then got a commission. I think that Gore's father and Bush's father both had the same idea in mind in the '60's. If their sons were going to have political aspirations, they had to serve honorably. Gore did go to Viet Nam and as far as I know, completely his service honorably and completely. He got a cushy job, so be it. But Bush DID NOT complete his service honorably - his dad made sure that the records reflected honorable service, but unfortunately for the Bushies, there is this one pesky document that shows a conclusive 16 month break in Bush's service. Hopefully, more will be made of this in the coming months. Because unlike Gore -or- Clinton, Senator Kerry served with distinction. Walt |
