Check this out.

It is a common misconception that the Air National Guard was a safe place for military duty during the Vietnam War. In actuality, pilots from the 147th Fighter Interceptor Group, as it was called at the time, were actually conducting combat missions in Vietnam at the very time Bush enlisted. In fact, F-102 squadrons had been stationed in South Vietnam since March 1962.

Thank you! Something the RNC should make a point of sharing with the American people!

I am losing the curiouser and curiouser feeling about the memogate horror and shoving it into the blatant and crude attempt to destroy our Commander in Chief category by a major television network...at the same time...I am getting absolutely livid at the rest of the misconceptions and lies (like being a pilot in the guard is cowardly since we now know many DID go to VIETNAM, even if the danger of this job were not enough to discount the cowardly accusation) the DNC, in tandem with the major network TV news jerks, has laid upon our nation.

I am beginning, also, to understand exactly why our President walks so tall, speaks so directly, laughs with ease, loves our nation and stays the course, never losing his stride... and why he has surrounded himself with genuine experts in their fields, wisely choosing a staff not of YES MEN and WOMEN but of MEN and WOMEN who reflect himself, confident in themselves.

He knows who he is because he has walked the walk, is unafraid of risks, does not give a HOOT what these press jerks think because he does not respect them, and leads with that certain confidence that emboldens all of us.
