From the Kerry Spot:
Drudge has a PDF of a May 27, 1968 "statement of understanding" signed by George W. Bush, pledging to enter on active duty for 120 days. It also has the signature of Willie J. Hooper Jr., captain and assistant administrative officer.
(The document, at first glance, looks like something typed in 1968.)
I think Drudge is citing this document to refute the charge in a new Democratic National Committee press release that Bush claimed to have served in the U.S. Air Force.
The counter-argument would be that Bush was serving, actively, in the U.S. Air Force, during this 120 day period.
Either way, when thousands of men and women in the National Guard are serving the country in far-off and dangerous places like Iraq and Afghanistan, is it a good strategy for the DNC to be insisting that National Guard doesn't really count as a part of the Armed Forces?
I mean, are they trying to make sure no one in the National Guard votes for Kerry?
Clearly they considered the Guard worthless before they considered it worthy.
