Can you tell me what the difference in that and John Kerry leaving Vietnam early and then asking for an early out is?
%%%%%
One difference is Kerry asked to leave ahead of schedule in late 1969 = still the height of the war
Lt Bush asked to leave in 1973 when the US was flooded with unemployed pilots, and the pentagon was practically begging pilots to resign their commissions.
I know this kind of detail is really too much for soundbite news, but thought you would like to know it.
Thanks.
I'm trying to get this straight in my mind and every little tidbit from those who know sure helps.
