Just like Bu**** is ducking questions about why he didn't show up for
his physical?


He has answered it. Don't blame Bush because you don't keep up. He was on
temporary assignment in Alabama. If he'd taken the physical and passed with
flying colors, he still wouldn't fly, because they didn't have enough
planes for all their own pilots and all the reserve pilots coming back from
Vietnam, and Bush was too low on the totem pole to get a plane. So, why
worry about a flight physical? He could earn enough credit with ground duty
to earn his service points and get out. The difference is, Bush wasn't
pretending to be some JFK PT-109 hero.

Maybe, Bush didn't want to "kill babies" like John Kerry said our military
was busy doing in Vietnam in 1971.
