- Today, George Bush has the audacious gall to lay a wreath
and speak of veterans service to their country. That all those missing
in action be accounted for. Hmmm...George, Senior told family members and
friends of those Missing In Action to "Shut up and sit down".
Apporximately 2,100 (thank you Kissinger) left behind in Nam and 8000 missing
from the Korean "conflict". Appropriately, the AWOL reservist
shows up at the tomb of the unknown soldier. George W. Bush Military Record
-
- In these days of guys who never fought in Vietnam advocating
a tricky engagement in Iraq, it is interesting to see what George W. Bus
actually did in the military, how he misrepresented it, and what's been
done recently to make sure no one notices.
-
- Mr. Bush, whose permission to fly was revoked by the
military, liked to portray himself to voters as a "fighter pilot".
But his embellishments (called lies) didn't stop there.

-
- "Asked how he got into the Air National Guard, Bush
said, 'They could sense I was going to be one of the great pilots of all
time."
-
- 1999 Autobiography by George Bush
-
- Among the questionable claims in Bush's autobiography
is that he tried to volunteer for service in Vietnam "to relieve active-duty
pilots".
-
- He did NOT volunteer for service in Vietnam; in fact,
he failed to report for duty in his Air National Guard Unit and skipped
off to Alabama to work on a political campaign.
-
- "I continued flying with my unit for the next several
years".
-
- In fact, he was suspended from flight duty in August,
1972 and didn't fly at all for the last two years of his service.
-
- He also didn't show up for duty.
-
- Bush says his military service "gave me respect
for the chain of command".
-
- Well, that's an odd way to describe ignoring two direct
orders to appear for duty. He was then assigned to a disciplinary unit
in Denver, and he didn't show up for that, either.
-
- Through the Freedom of Information Act, it was shown
that George W. failed to report for Air National Guard duty, was disciplined,
and was booted out as a pilot for refusing to take a drug test.
-
- In fact, he evaded military duties (as today's elite
and politicians' sons will) while thousands of Americans - less privileged
than George were dying in Vietnam.
-
- Senator Inouye: "During my service, if I missed
training for two years, I would have been court maritaled. " The Senator
has demanded that Bush account for his time in the reserves.
-
- Senator Bob Kerry: "George Bush made a six year
commitment. Well, if he's going to do what's right, he ought to release
his military records as John McCain did and let us know where he was during
that six year period.
-
- Sept 29, 1972 Air National Guard orders "suspending"
1st Lt. George W. Bush from flying status are confirmed. Reason for Suspension:
Failure to accomplish annual medical exam.
