BC04 needs to get these points coming out of Republican mouths on TV ASAP. Put out the sparks before a real fire starts.

[SW6906]

Finally, someone gets to the truth. BTTT!!

E-mailed to my contacts as well!!!
The 'Rats keep bringing up the same old tried and disproven arguments time and time again...
They're going down in flames!!!

> BC04 needs to get these points coming out ...

BC will not officially do that. In fact, it seems to be
up to the base to handle anything prior to 1972.

I just today wrote up a Guard/Reserve run-up comparison

And I can assure you I'm not on the WH fax list.

Bump all you need to know...emailed to Washington Post, Boston Globe and 60 minutes...

Bump for Reference.

"Texans for Truth" says they can't find anybody who served with Bush in Alabama. I can help.

Here's a guy who "saw him each drill period":

And how about the dentist? Bush's records show a dental exam in Alabama:

BEN BARNES

Here's an easy fact check - Ben Barnes says he helped get Bush into the Guard while he was Lt. Governor. Barnes became Lt Gov in January 1969. Bush joined the guard in May, 1968

The dems don't understand what it's like in a fighter.

I was active duty in the early 70's, also under the Air Defense Command, and worked with the radar/computer/fire control systems on the F-106. This was the fighter that replaced the F-102.

I got a training sortie in a 2 seater as a back seat "weapons officer". While flying at close to mach 1 and performing some very tricky maneuvers, I was able to lock on and perform a simulated "hit" on another F-106. It took everything I had just to stay awake during high G's as well as operating all of the electronic weapons system.!
The pilot I was with made the next intercept with very little effort. He flew the plane, operated the weapons, and did all so fast, your head would spin!

My point to all of this is that I know what Pres Bush did, and I challenge Kerry or any other dem just to ride in the back seat of any fighter while on a training mission!
They would be crying like school girls!

Everyone should help in getting these facts out. Cut and paste into email and send off to family and co-workers.

Thanks and bookmarked.

Bookmark for later.

Have to send this to some libs on another forum. Very good stuff...

Particularly this fighter. This was back before the
days of PC promotions of incompetents. If you weren't
up to the F-102A, it would happily kill you.

Closing (facetious) comment:
"The lousy damn coward. He went and hid in a unit, one
which had active service members actually in Vietnam,
one where the death rate in training and peacetime from
accident alone was damn nearly the same as active service
in Vietnam for all troops. Sheesh."

fr needs to add an "email this page" feature so we can "ping" non-freepers more easily.

[gov_bean_ counter]

All this is great info, however it is probably too much for the sheeple to follow. The WH should stick with the "Honorably Discharged" statement. If the Dems are stupid enough to argue the validity of official military documents, they do so at Kerry's peril since that is what his defense is based on.

[MEG33]

I'm a Texan..I don't need any of this...but I enjoy the research people do and some freepers need it to arm themselves against lib family or friends.

"Honorably discharged" are two words the media cannot comprehend.....

We have had a LOT of threads on this today and some people get nervous...They don't understand the Guard...nor do they understand "honorably discharged".

Now, now, we mustn't insult school girls like that. LOL
