You were still part of the ARMY.

As the ANG is Part of the Air Force.

Both have a duel control.

Notice that the DNC is playing with words.

They say the official said that the ANG is not part of the
ACTIVE DUTY Air Force. The officials did not say it was not part of the Air Force.

Exactly.

"The Air National Guard
The Air National Guard also has total responsibility for air defense of the entire United States. In addition, it serves as a reserve component of the U.S. regular Air Force. "

And while they are playing with semantics, Kerry enlisted into the Naval Reserve, NOT the Navy.

" Kerry joined the Navy Reserve and did not expect to go to Vietnam. When Kerry did go to Vietnam the swift boats were not dping river patrols. They were doing coastal patrols and were not in much danger. That is when he volunteered to join the Swiftees. The assignment of those boats was changed after he was accepted for the duty. Surprise, he got action and the rest is disputed history.

The information in this article was published in George Magazine, New York Times, Washington Times, Chicago Sun-Times, Washington Post, and on aerospaceweb.org."

This is so silly. When I got called up and deployed last year during OIF, I think of that time as time in the Marine Corps. I worked with active duty and reserve Marines, and there were no distinctions.

Now that I am off active duty and still go to drills, I think of myself as a Marine Reservist.

Lt Bush did almost TWO YEARS active duty training with the USAF. I am sure he felt the same as I do. He was on active duty for twice as long training as I recently was for the Iraq war.

No fraud. No evil intent to deceive.

This is a crystal clear indication that these clowns haven't the faintest idea of what it is like in the military.
