He did, the ANG is a component of the USAF.

We all know why
he couldn't take his flight physical that lead to Bush getting
grounded...he was taking coke and would have failed the blood
tests.

And we all know that Gore's (hell, the entire froth-mouthed,
fang-bearing Democratic party!) current state of acute agitation
that leads to erratic outbursts in public while attacking Bush is
due to the fact they're all presently addicted to crystal meth.

Like your temper tantrum in this NG a few months ago when you tried to find out
where I live?

I don't like gore's actions either, but you have no proof he has done meth. Do
you speak from personal experience?

Because, like millions of other youth, he didn't want to go to
Vietnam and get his ass shot off. A good choice for survival
at the time, but a poor choice for someone who wants to be a
national leader. It was even worse of a choice to go AWOL
and fail to show up for months at a time. We all know why
he couldn't take his flight physical that lead to Bush getting
grounded...he was taking coke and would have failed the blood
tests.

He like most of his upper-class did not serve...they hid as aids to
Congressmen and Senators...he was (and still is) a fuc**ing coward

Do a little reasearch before you use such a broad brush.

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.

Go look at the Wall. There's over a thousand names of Guardsmen and reservists
engraved there.

If you want to say joining the Guard would reduce the risk of going this is
true, but so was volunteering and selecting the right MOS. Even being drafted
was no sure ticket to Viet Nam. Some draftees never even left the states, many
went elsewhere.

Lets see how ineffective:
Sadaam is in jail and awaiting trial,

Not worth 7,000 US casulaties, including almost 900 KIA.

his country now has the right to protest, with out fear of being executed,
they
have electricity, running water, hospitals with enough supplies to operate,

Ditto above.

There are some fighting still, but read about what happened in Germany
after WWII, there were still some hold outs fights for another 3 yrs AFTER
the
war ended.

Not like this. If you can cite 5 US KIA in one day in Germany in 1948 (we had
5 KIA yesterday in Iraq), I'd like to see it. If you can show that Nazi
diehards were able to kill the head of the German government, as the insurgents
did a few weeks ago, throw that in.

Bin Ladin used to run a country, now he is on the run and living in a cave,

"The most important thing is for us to find Osama bin Laden. It is our
number one priority and we will not rest until we find him."
~ George Bush Jr. 2001-09-13

"I don't know where he (bin Laden) is. I have no idea and I really
don't care. It's not that important. It's not our priority."
~ George Bush Jr. 2002-03-13

On 9/11 Bin Laden was operating in a remote area along the Afghan/Paki border.

Right now, Bin Laden was operating in a remote area along the Afghan/Paki
border.


We have not been attacked since 9/11, as we are hitting them where they live.


Former SecNav Lehman, one of the 9/11 commissioners said a couple of weeks ago
that our intel community cannot tell the difference between a bike wreck and a
train wreck.

We're less safe now than we were on 9/11.

at least Bush has used the military for it's intended mission, and not as a
"meal on wheels" as the last one.

He's detroying the military. At least, that's what was published recently in
the Naval Preceedings.

Art,
I used to read what you had to say bout your service in WWII and respect what
you did, however, your attacks on Bush, have gone too far. He served, he
flew,
The F-102 was not a easy plane to fly. unlike kerry, who admitted he
committed
war crimes, aided the enemy, and claimed he was injured in combat, but never
missed a day due to those so called wounds that were treated with band-aids (
reminds me of Frank Burns of M*A*S*H, who applied for a Purple Heart after
getting hit with shell fragments, except it was he forgot to say on the
report
it was egg shell fragments) .

Bush acted after the attacks on 9/11, kerry wanted to wait and get the UN
involved. kerry voted against every weapons system that the military needed
and
has been using in Iraq. if he was so proud of his service, why did he try and
keep our troops from having the best equipment ? You would think, that anyone
that had been in combat, would know what it is like and want our troops to
have
what is needed.

You don't have the faintest idea of what you are talking about.

Clearly the worst president in American history.

I assume you have done detailed research on each and every president to come up
with that?

Prove it.

Would you have skipped a flight physical if you could have helped it?

Why didn't GWB join the U.S. Air Force ?


He did, the ANG is a component of the USAF.

With different criteria for training?


Walt

George Bush has been a disastrous failure as commander in chief of the armed
forces.

I'd suggest you ask the military about that instead of just reading the papers.
And don't give me that crap about how demoralized the miltary is because it
ain't true. If you want to believe a few whiney Guard and Reservists go right
ahead. My son is on active duty with AH-64D Apache attack heliocoters and I
sure don't get that sense from him or his commanders of from the families of
others in the military..
