He did join the US Air Force.

The Texas Air National Guard is NOT the U. S. Air Force.

They'd better go repaint those airplanes, then.
And change the uniforms.

No need. The governors all have permission. Anyway, the aircraft are all
clearly marked with the names of the states that own them when they're not
federalized. Don't take my word for it.....just go out to an ANG base and see
for yourself.

And, if you find an air defense alert barn with Eagles or Vipers
lurking therein, you might want to ask the guard at the gate who has
launch authority for those ANG jets, the governor? And, if the unit
has been deployed recently, as virtually all ANG and AFRES flying
units have, you might want to ask what sort of missions the governor
was ordering them to fly.

You'll find out that ANG flying units are a component of the USAF and
that they are under the operational command and control of the USAF.

Don't bother the sentry, just look at the command patches worn by ANG
personnel. You won't find any Texas ANG or NJANG patches, you'll find ACC
patches, AMC patches or even SPACECOM patches, all *USAF* MAJCOMs.

It most certainly is. So are the Air National Guard units of the
other states as well.

Army Guard is the same.

So why did their aircraft have "U. S. AIR FORCE" written on their sides?

I'm not certain who is worse. A person who joins the Air National Guard to
avoid going to Vietnam or a person who goes to Vietnam to obtain political
status and power.

It is well documented that Kerry was assigned to relatively save duty to
obtain "combat" experience, then used his contacts among high ranking Navy
officers to manipulate his way out of that duty.

There are a couple of things Bush-gashers are overlooking in their
zeal to bash Bush.

First, military aviation is not a "safe" occupation, in wartime or in
peacetime. Ask anyone who's actually served.

Second, that famous "Mission Accomplished" banner aboard the carrier
where Bush landed in the S-3 has been used to ridicule Bush and the
war effort. The "Mission Accomplished" referred to the ship's
deployment.

How many aircraft carrier deployments, in peacetime or in wartime,
have been conducted without loss of life?

The Ship's Company had every right to declare its mission
accomplished, and would have done so had Bush been there or not.

I don't know that. Why would I?

Tsk, tsk, tsk. You are obviously not listening to the
voices numbnuts believes we all have in our heads.
He'll be very disappointed when he realises this.

And it was NEVER done in conjunction with a physical. Drug screenings
were always separate in order to document and maintain chain of
custody of the sample.

Mr Weeks is a liar.

Fred!
I'm shocked.
I'm speechless.
Surely it cannot be so.
Why that would be unthinkable....
A fine upstanding citizen like John A. Weeks III a
foul smelling gob****e of a liar.
My entire world view is collapsing.
Say it ain't so
