The truth is too painful to admit. I see.

Yea, if that works, take it.

So do flying officers in the US Air Force go through six weeks of training --
as enlisted men -- and then are commissioned as officers?

What part of Ed Rasimus' explanation did you not understand?
And what was common 30 years ago is probably not so today.

The reason for that is pretty clear. Bush skipped out on the last two years
of his commitment.

No he did not. This too has been explained in detail by those who
have some chance of getting it right.

Ace:

Do your homework. Fact- not opinion, fact- is that eht so-called "popular
vote" was undecided. A statistical tie, more accurately. We will *never*
know who actually received the most votes, because:

1) Not all votes were counted. It's legal in most places to discard votes
if they won't tip the electoral scales. Therefore, in the "Bush" states
many Gore votes (and potential additional Bush votes) were discarded, and
vice versa.
2) Out of the votes that *were* counted, the totals were within the margin
of errors of the mechanical counting systems used. Even with "perfectly"
filled out ballots, the machine counters have margins of error (within a 95%
confidence interval) of ~3% of total votes cast. Basically, any vote tally
within 6% of each other is at least 5% chance we gave the win to the wrong
guy . . . as teh tallies get closer, the probability of error gets higher.
3) *Now* you may apply whatever sense of the typical "irregularites"
(10,000 absentee ballots discarded in Florida) you feel exist, and hte
margins are even higher.

STOP REPEATING HTE "GORE WON POPULAR ELECTION" BULL****!

You are no longer ignorant- if you repeat this lie, you are evil.

Go play with your chads. Chicago and New York screwed-up by
trying to trust the Cubans to elect them. The Cubans don't like Gore.
They don't like Kerry either. The Democrats have missed the boat
down there since 1963.

Who won the popular vote?

Who won the Grammy?

I see. When you find an uncomfortable question you answer with a
different question.

I'll give you a hint. George Bush wasn't the winner.

You are one ignorant- or evil- SOB, Ace.

Someone -- I didn't keep track -- said that Bush DID go to OTS. When I asked
if OTS attendees were considered to be enlisted men, I got nothing back.


Personnel attending officer training programs typically do have
enlisted rank, even if only for administrative purposes (IIRC, I was an
E-2 while in ROTC in college, although the closest I ever came to
wearing a uniform with enlisted rank were the cadet ranks during my
first two years of ROTC).

Several enlisted troops in my group have been selected for OTS, and
will maintain their enlisted rank until completion of training, at which
time they will be discharged from enlisted service and then sworn in
as 2Lt's.

According to the Constitution, he was.

You've heard of the document, I suspect.

That does not change a thing. Whether or not you agree, the ANG is NOT a part

time, they answer to their governors only, regardless of where the money for
their operations comes from.

Not strictly true- they follow the appropriate Regulations or
Instructions appropriate to their service and operational requirements.
In the Air Force these would be all of the appropriate Air Force
Instructions (AFIs).

In addition, they are inspected and evaluated under a program
which includes Guard and Reserve representation, but they are
inspected under the same standards as active duty units and
their inspection teams will have both active and non-active members.

In point of fact, no one won a majority of the popular vote, nor did
they in the previous presidential election. But neither of those
tidbits are relevant to the discussion, as the President of the United
States has never been elected via a popular vote. The number of
people in the news (including, IIRC, Chelsea Clinton) who expressed
surprise and dismay at this fact should be made to retake high school
civics. As should those who still seem to cling to it as though it
does, or ever did, have some relevance. If you want a leader elected
through direct popular vote, move to -- hmm, having a hard time
finding one. Even Castro was listed as being elected via
"legislative vote."

Hmmm, might be an unsafe bet on this occasion.
