Why did Bush join the national guard?

Bush refused to vounteer. And he did it in writing.

Even if you were right on this, what would it matter?

General Eisenhower never saw combat, and was a non-volunteer
for overseas duty. He made a great President as well.

For pity's sake, Art. This is a non issue. It was discussed to death
months ago here, and it doesn't mean what you're trying to imply.

Everything about Bush is a non issue right? How about everything about Kerry?
Also a non issue? You can't have it both ways.

6 million of the 9 million people on active duty during the Vietnam era
never saw SEA. Will you belittle their service as well?

Art belittles the service of most.

I'm sure he will. After all, they didn't ride in B-26's in WWII, so to
Art, their service is meaningless.

Uhh...have you not been reading his crap since about 1999? He belittles the
service of everyone (except John Kerry) who didn't fly B-26s in the ETO between
1943 and 1945.

The best part of his rants is where he curses people for slandering Kerry's
service, than he slanders the service of others. Its really gotten pathetic.

You've already been told, by people much smarter than you, that checking the
box "I do not request an overseas assignment" was not same as requesting not to
go to Vietnam. You can continue your mantra as you see fit though as you no
longer have a reputation to trash.

Why did Bush join the National Guard instrae do the Army, Navy or Air
Force?
why?


Why do you believe that everyone who served in the National Guard during
Vietnam is some kind of traitor?

Bush was a fighter pilot for 3 years, carrying out a vital national
interest
during the cold war. And we all know that the F102 was not a particularly
safe, nor easy to fly aircraft. This is not the profile of someone who
shuns
either danger or responsibility, nor of one who lacks intelligence.

And for the record, when a proposal was floated to send F102s to Vietnam,
Bush put his name in as a volunteer, however the powers that be decided
not
to use the plane.

You have just lied again, and you did it in writing. Bush did volunteer;
first for the Guard, then for flight duty, and finally, he tried to do so
for Palace Alert.

For the same record, when he first applied for flying training, he indicated on
his application that he did NOT desire an overseas assignment. And he had only
300 flying hours in the F-102 when he volunteered for overseas duty after he had
been told that they wouldn't consider anybody with less than 500 hours. It was
a pretty safe thing to do.....asking for something you knew in advance they
weren't going to give you.

That's just for the record, of course.
