Facts are facts...back in the '60s, when he was counted on to provide an air defense role for his country during the peak of the Cold War, Bush transferred from the Texas ANG to the Alabama ANG to aid an Alabama Republican (forget who it was) in his gubernatorial bid. In doing so, he shirked his drills as a Texas Guard pilot as the 'Bama ANG was ground support unit. I am a retired member of the Navy Reserve and vividly recall a period when my work required me to be temporarily transferred to another state for a period of seven months...guess what, the Navy did not allow my transfer to the other state's reserve unit as my military specialty was deemed critical to the unit I was in (requiring me to fly back at considerable personal expense) so I am "curious" to learn how Bush was able to accomplish his nearly two-year absence from his Texas unit?
Of course I guess one of McCain's great achievements this year was the Al Qaeda's Bill of Rights! He should be very proud of that. Of course it will put him in favor with the MSM which is what McCain is always more interested in.
Personally, from my state of Arizona we only have one true Republican Senator in the name of Senator Kyl.

Facts are facts.This event occurred in the early 70's when the Texas Guard was switching airplanes and Bush would have needed to requalify.(probably would not have been allowed to without reupping.)
Bush served his country - end of story.
