Bush is a deserter. The new records indicate he wasn't paid for three
months in 1972. After 30 days you are "dropped from the rolls" as a
deserter, unless your daddy is George H.W. Bush, that is. (Mine
wasn't,
so I had to show up every morning.)

Those of us who wore a uniform know this.

Kerry had the balls to show up in Viet Nam when he probably could have
used his connections and wealth to get out of it like Bush, Rumsfeld,
Cheney, Wolfowitz and all the rsdt of those cheickenhawks did. Bush
didn't, and has never done anything in his life I've heard of showing
any real courage.

In the reserves, if you were out more than 30 days changing units, you
got
a
notice to go to meetings, and if you were out longer than 90 days, you
got
activated for the duration of what it takes to make 2 years active duty.
So
he was out maybe less than 120 days, and he may have had 2 years active
duty
in. Flight training would take at least a year of active duty.

President Bush was an F-102 pilot. The F-102 was being phased out. So the
Air Guard, and the Air Force, weren't really interested in retraining him
to
fly other aircraft when he was getting out in less than a year. Most
likely
hes was told to make himself scarce.



Most likely. But nobody wants to get past "most likely" and actually explain
it.
