| I was a LT with Bush |
| 2004-02-13 |
| A letter to the editor from a retired ANG officer who served with Bush in the TANG. It gets me that the people making the most hay out this were either trying to get to Canada or thinking up new student defferments. Did GWB join the guard to avoid "Nam? Maybe he did. But he had one hell of a lot of company. |

| #3 I believe Moores record goes back to the Iraq War. We used him in the April 15 (date right?) attaempt to kill Saddam. You remember the crater on TV, right? |

| #2 This Gurad issue is a bunch of crap. Bush flew FIGHTER JETS in the Air Guard. Not everyone gets to fly and fewer get to fly jets. The press wants to demean this like he was serving in Canada or Eastern Air lines. Flying fighters is not easy nor is it safe. If Bush wanted to be 'safe' he should have enlisted in the Air Force and stayed on the ground and got out after two years. Less danger thatn at 30k feet trying to intercept a bomber. None of the press have flown Jets so they think it's some kind of easy duty. Screw them, Mike Moore, and terry mcliar! Let's see their military record! |

| #1 All in all a truly pathetic episode. I keep waiting for the first reporter to ask Bush "...so when did you stop beating your wife?" |
