Clearly the worst president in American history. For certain. Just because the economy is improving, jobs are increasing, and we have had no major attackes in our corders since 9/11, clearly he isn't doing his job well. |

Subject: Why didn't GWB join the U.S. Air Force ?
From: (WalterM140) Date: 7/11/2004 2:58 PM Eastern Standard Time Message-id: 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. Nah, the head of the German government took his own life. 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. Yeah and who took down the intel community in the last decade and what senator from Massachusetts voted in favor of those cuts? We're less safe now than we were on 9/11. On what measure or basis? 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. Again, sir just ask people in the military instead of reading about it. The Navy is ****ed because they can't have all the aircraft carriers they want. Go ahead, ask the grunts and ask them how they feel. |

He did join the US Air Force. The Texas Air National Guard is NOT the U. S. Air Force. Is that like saying that the SeaBees aren't really part of the navy? The Texas ANG is a state organization until such time as it's activated, and the only time its members are in the USAF as such is when they've been activated, either as a unit or as individuals. In Dubya's case, he was only active during his flight training.....the rest of his service was in a state organization. The Seabees were different....they were an integral part of the Navy at the time, as was the submarine service, etc. If you enlisted in the Seabees, you were in the Navy from day one. To the best of my knowledge, the Texas ANG was never federalized as a unit during the VN War, although individual members who may have volunteered would have been activated and assigned to active USAF units. See the difference? George Z. |

He did join the US Air Force. The Texas Air National Guard is NOT the U. S. Air Force. I didn't say it was. President George III *did* join the US Air Force. I was just responding to whoever said three lines up "He did join the US Air Force". He joined the Texas ANG.....the only time he was in the Air Force was during his flying training. The rest of his service was in the Texas ANG. The only time any ANG unit is part of the Air Force is when it's been federalized and activated. That never happened to Dubya. Individual Texas ANG members may have volunteered for active duty, been accepted and assigned to regular AF units during the VN War, but that didn't happen to Dubya either. So, what he joined was the Texas ANG. No need to argue the point any further.....it won't change anything. George Z. |
