Another blast from the past:

"Political Discourse"

November 1999

excerpt:

Mr. PAUL BEGALA:

~snip and scroll down~

Third, I was advised to ask: `In 1978, Bush was running for the House of Representatives. He had a brochure that said he served in the Air Force instead of the International Guard. Isn't that Bush lying about his military record?'

~snip~

"but trained at Aberdeen Proving Ground "

yes, in my Officer Basic Course at good-old APG I was a Reserve commissioned officer on active duty

in my class were some National Guard officers from their States completing the course which would be required for promotion

there MIGHT have even been some Regular Army Officers, commissioned out of West Point - but I don't remember any for sure

Most officers then came from ROTC with a Reserve Commission

Great comment from DU:

Your right.. Active duty for training. If its in excess of 180 days (i.e Pilot training) Are you in Title 10(Federal active duty) status or Tile 32 (National Guard duty status)
Question:
1. Did Pres Bush have a Green DD2AF (Active) or Red (Reserve) during this period??? Ans: Green
2. Did he receive a DD214 for this tour of duty?? Ans: Yes
One could loosely interpret that he was Active duty Air Force (for Training) during this period.

"and they started flaming the newbie because he was a national guardsmen."

I guess it is reassuring to know that they still, at heart, really do HATE all of us; and Kerry is a good guy only because of the terrible anti-war and treasonous stuff he did; and his actual service is only good because they thought he could beat GWB with it.

These people are pathetic. I'd like to see them all drafted (if I didn't care about the morale and effectiveness of our Armed Forces, which, of course, I do).

I figured somebody would know!

That was what I remembered, but since I wasn't the guest of honor I couldn't say for sure.

(Even though I was the one who had to rip all the old unit insignia off his ODs and sew the new ones on . . . :-D )

When were you at APG? Husband was there fall of 1973, then joined a USAR Chemical Corps unit in Camp Kilmer NJ.

5. Laughing my ass off here! It's the Training (boot camp) days!

It takes an idiot (Drudge) to act like this is actual, for real, genuine Air Force active duty.

I'll put 10 grand down that this DUloser never served. Any takers ?

Can't we dream up a Punishment Battalion of some sort and just stick them all there? When they aren't doing Five Mile Runs, they can pick up trash along the highways or, as General Patton said, shovel $#!+ in Louisiana.

Of course somebody would have to be told off to keep an eye on them, and that's bad, but surely SOMEbody would feel that the enjoyment of seeing them humiliated outweighed the inconvenience?

I'll throw my 2-cents into the guessing ring:

1. Blather finds out that he was setup. And like the other dark lord, he finally comes to a realization that the "dark side" isn't all it's cracked up to be.

2. So - in his death throes, he takes the emperor (the MSM/liberal establishment) and publicly throws them to their death.

Remember where you heard it first.

Regards,

"It takes an idiot (Drudge) to act like this is actual, for real, genuine Air Force active duty. Still laughing. "

I 'spose we will know the answer to this when the Dems pull the ad campaign. Do they really want voters to see how absolutely incompetent the liberals are with respect to the Military?

Seriously, I keep thinking he thinks he is gonna get rather or Jennings desk when they retire. This guy is desperate to have the liberal press like him. He is an insecure bbozo with no core values.

Aah, maybe that's his angle. Makes sense to me and he's probably being courted as we speak.

LOL -- you'd best provide copies to 60 Minutes -- it's that important!
