As to going to officer's school. Again, bzzzzt. Wrong again. He
received his officer's commission through a special appointment after
6 weeks of basic training. He never had a day of officer's training.
I guess that 25 on his aptitude test dazzled the three officer panel


Holy crap! This is 100% true!

Of course it is true. No secret there. All anyone really needs to do
is ask themselves the hypothetical question, if Bush's military
records and Kerry's military records were each magically switched, can
you imagine the howl the right wing would be putting up about Kerry,
the National Guard deserter and GWB, the greatest naval hero since
John Paul Jones?

Obviously the answer is that many people are not interested in the
truth of their own hypocrisy. They not only accept an obvious
campaign of lies and smears, they stand in line to buy tickets to see
it. They will accept anything that reinforces their own views, even
though those views have been shaped by their unwillingness to
truthfully examine the issues. All issues, not just this little trip
down memory lane to the 1960s. The music was great, but the times
were not.

It's bull****.





Pathetic Earthlings! No one can save you now!

Sorry, Horvath. Any web search turns up the same data from just about any
website. Try for yourself and see if you can find anything that contradicts the
following:

As soon as Bush completed basic training, his commander approved him for a
"direct appointment", which made him an officer without having to go through
the usual (and difficult) Officer Candidate School. This special procedure also
got Bush into flight school, despite his very low scores on aptitude tests --
he scored 25% on a pilot aptitude test, the absolute lowest acceptable grade,
and 50% for navigator aptitude.

Then you admit that Honest George served honorably as a fighter pilot?

pilot.
