I know. My comment was in jest.
BRING IT ON!
Doesn't matter now. If they find or rather manufacture very convincing proof, all Bush has to do is ask the Swift Boats or some other group to air ads showing exactly how the last documents were faked, and how the new proof is faked. Our new chant should be FLIP FLOP, FRAUD!
Actually it's not, or at least it shouldn't be. But no matter, they have been discredited, just need to advertise that.
WORDSTAR!
"Kerry hired Shrum to run his campaign. Shrum is 0 out of 7 so far in Presidential campaigns."
Rush has said it before. The Democrats love losers. The bigger the screw up the more they are admired. That is why Carter is held in such esteem.
What a REDICULOUS slam the democRATS are trying to pull this time.
The TANG is part of the Air Force. The August 1st memo even calls the group the USAF/TexANG.
This Bush writeup was obviously written in the third person by a reporter. It would be very easy for someone to mis-translate the abbreviation USAF/TexANG to mean Air Force -AND- Air National Guard. Here is the title of another officer that flew with Dubya
COL. WILLIAM CAMPENNI (retired) U.S. Air Force/Air National Guard Herndon, Va.5Once again, a reporter could easily misunderstand that to mean he was a member of the U.S. Air Force, AND the Air National Guard

Volkswriter!
ROTFLOL What year...decade, is it again? Someone please remind me... ;)
All the R's need do is supply a picture of Bush in a TxANG F-102A, like the one in the foreground below, where the "U.S. Air Force" markings are visible. Or better yet, a T-38 which Bush likely flew in pilot training. (And newbies are still flying today, if they are going to fighters).
Typical DemocRat parsing, no they are not part of the *Active Duty* Air Force, but that doesn't mean they are not part of the Air Force. The same could be said of AF Reservists (which ANG members are as well as being part of their state's organized militia). Air Guardmen wear a "US Air Force" strip on their BDUs opposite their name strip. ANG officers wear the same "U.S." on the lapels of their uniform as active duty Air Force officers do and the same is true ANG enlisted members.

Please go to this website, use one of your "alternate" e-mail names and post your opinion about this really vile piece of garbage. (You don't have to watch it; I didn't. Drudge compared it to Fahrenheit 9/11.)
My comment suggested that the democrat party and kerry could surely do better than stoop to such petty, low-class propaganda.
It won't let your comment go thru unless you add "friends" e-mail addresses: how about "nobodyathome@nowhere.net"?
My mother always says "Enough to gag a maggot", which seems to fit the "Rajan Cajan" Carvile to a "T".
No, this is just the plausibility build up. They'll combine it with push polls showing loss of support for Bush (even though the polls say he's gaining *voter* support). Then the fix will be in. The dead and felon vote will turn out in truly massive numbers. The Army of Lawyers will prevent or at least reduce the effect of any significant challenges to the vote. Then we'll have a coup via fraudulent election. Something like this has to be their plan, they're dumb, but they're not that dumb, and they are craftyslimy.
He did, he held a commission as a reserve of the Air Force, as do all Air National Guard officers. The Air Guard is part of the Air Force. I guess these guys have never heard of the "Total Force".
Meanwhile he was on active duty for the better part of two years, 607 days, and his total points were 761 (assuming I can add in both case).o, That means he spent an addition 154 half days (each inactive duty drill counts for one point, but they are typically half days, sometimes longer especially for pilots who do a single drill for single mission from home base, which with pre and post flight could easily take more than 4 hours, but they still only get 1 point). Thus he served 684 full days in uniform. Kerry only was on active duty from 22 Aug 66 to 3 Jan. 70, 3 years and 4 months, including time at OCS. Reservists on active duty for training do not in general accrue leave, nor for inactive duty training drills. So you have to subtract about 2-3 months from Kerry's total to have a comparable time. So while Kerry did spend more days in uniform, not counting all those days in half a uniform before Congress, speaking at anti-military rallies, and maybe even negotiating with the enemy, the differences are not all that great.
Nobody ever asked Bush to leave because he was endangering others, the same cannot be said of Kerry.
Sorry, the Tx ANG doesn't take traitors. We might hang 'em, but we sure as h#ll don't commision 'em.

Definition: [adj] forming or functioning as part of a whole
Thus the Air National Guard is a part of the U.S. Air Force. Case closed.
Actually I don't think he ever went through officer training, at least I don't see in his record any time spent at OCS/OTS or even at basic training. That would make his a direct commision. I would think he'd have needed some kind of training, in military customs and courtesies at least, to avoid having his head taken off by some senior officer while he was at UPT. The two years included both UPT and specialized training in interceptor techniques (T-33 aircraft) and in flying and fighting the F-102. Some of that was back at Ellington, his home base. They were the school house for Guard F-102 and later F-101 transition training, at least starting "by" January 1970, Bush started his F-102 training, officially, on 29 Dec 69. Thus he most likely did his transition training at his home base. The unit had a dual mission for some years, both standing alert (and keeping it's pilots ready to do that mission) and training pilots from ANG units of many state's ANGs.
