It is pretty remarkable that Bush evr even got to fly. Most in the Air Force never make the grade. I'm sure it isn't ll that much easier in the ANG.

The MSM wing of the Democrat party had no problem with Clinton who never wore the uniform of ANY military branch reserve or active. The fact that they still are dredging up this OLD business about Bush's service in the reserves is yet more proof of how unethically partisan they are. The focus ought to be on Bush's military service as COMMANDER IN CHIEF for the last three and a half years. Duh! Oh that's right, I'm just a lowly blogger on the Internet and not a media genius.

It was remarkable, but no easier.

There were still a lot of Korean War pilots in the Texas units. And though they probably were not flying, more than a few WWII veterans were still there. And, some of the 111th pilots had flown combat missions in Vietnam. If anything, there had to be a lot of pressure on Bush to measure up.

In Korea the 111th was part of the 136th Bombardment Group. In WWII they flew reconnaisance from North Africa, through Sicily, Italy, and finally France.
