Air Force?
why?


He DID go into the Air Force. The ANG is a component of the USAF.


Yes, but Art asked about the National Guard.

Which is a component of the Army which Bush never clauims to have joined.

Not exactly. "The National Guard" would most accurately describe the federal
umbrella organization, represented at its highest by the National Guard
Bureau (NGB). Which as an entity is not slotted under either the Army or Air
Force, but is instead a joint bureau that reports to *both* of those service
component headquarters. The chief of NGB (currently an ARNG three star, but
it usually rotates from service to service) has deputies who oversee each of
the two components, ARNG and ANG.

At that time, TANG was a safe place to baby sit the children of
privilege who were burdened by poor scores on military aptitude tests.
I don't fault Bush's parents for buying their kid's way into the
champaign squadron. It's important that the best and the brightest
conserve their genes for future generations.

Can you imagine the disaster if the shrub had been given hazardous duty
which caused him to be disabled or killed before having the chance to
breed and produce equally brilliant offspring? Where would we be
without Jenna and Barbara?

I think about Bush and am glad he was never around to fight with the 344th
although he would have gotten out of combat missions by hook or by crook.
especially crook. The resrves was the standard hiding place for the neocon
rich, and poweful.

There you go again--are you again saying that the reserves were a refuge
when your beloved 344th was flying in combat? When are you going to learn
that the entire reserve structure had been mobilized for active duty while
you were still trying to figure out whether you wanted a chocolate malted or
a cherry spritzer at the local soda fountain?

At first I thought that you just disliked Bush. Then I thought you were a
little obsessive and had too much time on your hands. Now I see that you
are, unfortunately, totally insane.

Are you forgetting that the elder Bush actually fought in WWII as a pilot
and was actually shot down in combat? He was rich and powerful, but chose to
serve in the best way he could, just like George W. And I also wasn't aware
that the 'neocon' bogeymen were around back in WWII also. Which kind of
leads me to believe that you have no idea what a 'neocon' even is. Which
also leads me to believe that you are probably talking out your ass 99% of
the time anyway.

Does the use of such terminology make you at least feel more like a real
man? That would be the fellow who is some ten or eleven points ahead of your
fellow in the current polls, right? The same guy who has the same veterans
benefits you have?

It is used as an adjective. Not a noun.
