Washington: 1-202-776-9400 - don't know if that's sports or nbews.
CALL THEM, CALL THEM, CALL THEM. It's a story based on a false premise. I called Atlanta and New York, and they knew they couldn;t even defend this bizarre story.
.....sorry I don't know how to start a new thread asking people to call these lying factories and posting their phone numbers. Somebody, please do....Also, PLEASE call your local newspapers and tell them that they will be running a story based on lies if they do run it....AND THAT WE ALL ARE WATCHING AND EDUCATING PEOPLE ABOUT THE MEDIA LIES...
". . .the war in Vietnam was nearing its end and the US was withdrawing its forces from the theater. Air Force personnel returning to the US created a glut of active-duty pilots, and there were not enough aircraft available to accommodate all of the qualified USAF and ANG pilots. Since USAF personnel had priority for the billets available, many of the Air National Guard pilots whose enlistments were nearly complete requested early release. The ANG was eager to fulfill these requests because there was not enough time to retrain F-102 pilots to operate new aircraft before their enlistments were up anyway. Bush was one of those forced out by the transition, and he was honorably discharged as a first lieutenant in October 1973, eight months before his six-year enlistment was complete. Bush had approximately 600 flight hours by the time he completed his military service. In the fall of 1973, Bush began coursework at the Harvard Business School where he received an MBA in 1975. . ."
"Many of the Air National Guard pilots whose enlistments were nearly complete requested early release."
If they could do the minimal required of real journalists the Rat "journalists" would headline, "Many ANG pilots deserted!"
"not enough aircraft available to accommodate all of the qualified USAF and ANG pilots. . .[and] not enough time to retrain F-102 pilots to operate new aircraft before their enlistments were up anyway. Bush was one of those forced out by the transition"
Rat "journalists" know nothing of the U.S. military beyond feeeeeeeeeeeling our military is the greatest threat to world peace.
When you talk to Mr. Hurley you might want to relate to him the following: I was sitting in Legal Seafood restaurant in Harvard Square (People's Republic of Cambridge) and overheard the conversation at the next table. Four people in this center of intellectual-liberal thought were carrying on loudly about how sick and tired they were of the mainstream media and how they don't believe a word they hear on tv or read in the newspapers. These people were not conservatives. They were young and judging from the rest of their conversation probably Democrats. Now if young liberals are getting sick of the media - it's bad!
Can someone check to see if Ahmad Majied was a Seal or if he stole some valor?
Why not ask Guardsmen what they think of the continual attacks by Kerry and the Dems about National Guard service being equivalent to draft-dodging? That would make a much better story than asking them to comment on forged documents as if they're real.
