GW Bush is a waste of human flesh.

I got as far as the ARPC gag. For those who never served during that time frame
let me explain. The site said Bush never finished his 6 year commitment. The
authour has no idea what that means. During that time ALL males 18 and over had
a 6 year obligation unless excused for valid reasons (conscientious objector,
medical etc). This means if one signed up for 3 years active duty in the Army
and completed those 3 years and got out he STILL had 3 years inactive reserves
before being released. If Bush didn't serve his 6 years in either Guard, active
or reserves the remaining time was INACTIVE reserve.

The six year obligation was the same for officers, warrants and enlisteds.

As an aside retirees have a 10 year inactive reserve obligation upon
retirement.

Think what you want about Bush, but wild accusations and name calling proves
absoultely nothing.

Any of you guys recall NG's with 4 year active reserve commitments in the
late 60's, early 70's? I don't. Every single NG I knew was on 6 year ACTIVE
reserve status. I'm sure many of them would have enjoyed getting cut loose
early too.

The commitment was a total of 6 years. I know people who did Guard fo 6 years
and and some who did 4 years. Never having done Guard I'm not sure how they did
it.
