Are you saying that LtCOl Killians secretary is lying?

She's a political partisan remembering what she wants to remember from
32 years ago.

The New York Times quotes from Killian are from existing (i.e.,
unforged, not bogus) documents.

I'll believe the real quotes, thank you:

"In November 1970, the commander of the Texas Air National Guard,
Lt. Col. Jerry B. Killian, called Mr. Bush, then 24, 'a dynamic
outstanding young officer' who stood out as 'a top-notch fighter
interceptor pilot' mature beyond his age.
"'Lt. Bush's skills far exceed his contemporaries,' Colonel
Killian wrote in recommending that Mr. Bush be promoted to first
lieutenant. 'He is a natural leader whom his contemporaries look to
for leadership. Lt. Bush is also a good follower with outstanding
disciplinary traits and an impeccable military bearing.'"

Whats' the first thing you learn when you join the military?

One aw **** wipes out a thousand ataboys.
