'Bush and I were lieutenants'

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). While we were not part of the same social circle outside the base, we were in the same fraternity of fighter pilots, and proudly wore the same squadron patch.

I hope someone at Rush's shop finds this and reads every word of it TODAY!

Anyone know how to ping Rush or Hannity?

Not me. But someone at this shop lurks here and I do hope they will draw it to his attention.

This whole reliving the 60's crap has really ticked me off and these low life pukes have stepped over that "patriotic" line.

What an absolutely devastating rebuttal to these ridiculous charges! Anyone still wondering why John Kerry is now refusing to comment on this matter? :-)

This is an incredibly important article. I joined the AF as a pilot in 1970, and I can tell you that THIS article states the case EXACTLY as it was. I had been mulling over such an article, but this is a truly authoritative piece.

Please ping all lists you have access to for this information.
