| Bush not AWOL/Media Lies |
| 2004-02-11 |
| Two MUST-READ articles. The first, a letter from one of Bush’s old squadron mates. George Bush and I were lieutenants and pilots in the 111th Fighter Interceptor Squadron (FIS), Texas Air National Guard (ANG) from 1970 to 1971. We had the same flight and squadron commanders (Maj. William Harris and Lt. Col. Jerry Killian, both now deceased)... Second, an article about lazy and dishonest reporting. |

| #7 I think Kerry joined up to be like JFK. He even wanted to be on a small partol (read: PT) boat just like JFK was. From Vietnam Veterans Against John Kerry posted here on Rantburg a few days ago. When later asked about the severity of the wounds, Kerry said that one of them cost him about two days of service, and that the other two did not interrupt his duty. "Walking wounded," as Kerry put it. |

| #6 Who was that IDIOT reporter at the White House briefing? McClellan looked like he wanted to bitch-slap him and with good reason. |

| #5 I was just about to post the same article. I am sick and tired of all this! Kerry may have gotten some medals during the war, but what he did afterwards in my mind totally negates his heroics. He's a sham! I believe he has carefully calculated everything move he has made since college for his own goals. To H*** with what's best for the country. And I remember several commanders who knew their stuff while I was serving who I would never want running the country. Sorry, had to vent! Had to deal today with a taxachusetts liberal today and am sick and tired of their better than thou attitude at times! |

| #4 Seems as though Mike Moore and many others are AWOL from the truth. The problem is that the flower children and anti-American activists of the 70s now hold sway at todays newspapers. |

| #2 nd the people trying to sread this where all probably using defferments and or trying to figure out a way to get to canada. Different war, different times and a way different worls situation between then and now. The Third World War started the day that the Ayatolla Cockamamie stepped off the plane in Tehran |
