Here is the nut of the story:

As brigadier general of Bush’s unit, Staudt was responsible for enrolling anybody who wanted to enter pilot training.

He maintains no one did Bush any favors — no one had to.

“He was a good candidate, well educated,” he said. “We needed pilots, and he wanted to be one.”

No, no, NO! You obviously have NOT been paying attention! Bush jumped past thousands of candidates to get into the TxANG! Barnes said so! LOL!

The qualifications were not easy to meet, and the candidate was committed to two years or so of full time training up front... There was NOT a long line of people waiting...Why let the facts get in the way of a good smear job??
