While the USAF was teaching Bush to fly sophisticated high performance fighters and shoot down nuclear armed Russian bombers, the Navy was teaching John Kerry to steer a boat while the Army was teaching Al Gore to type.

Not to defend Kerry, but the river boat duty wasn't a picnic. I found that out first hand, though I loved every minute of it.

Bill Whittle had a very good article on GWB's military experience. Might I suggest--

excerpt-
(see picture)
This is a Convair F-102 Delta Dagger. It is a second-generation, supersonic fighter-interceptor. It cruises at 845 mph.
There were some minor aerodynamic problems with the F-102. For example, at certain power settings and angles of attack – like, say, take-off -- the jet compressor would stall and the aircraft would roll inverted. It is no picnic, skill-wise, to fly a modern F-16 with advanced avionics and fly-by-wire flight control systems. The workload on the F-102 was far higher. The F-16 has an accident rate of 4.14 occurrences per 100,000 flight hours. The F-102’s accident rate was more than three times that: 13.69 per 100,000 hours. 875 F-102A interceptors were built; 259 – almost 30% - were lost to accidents or enemy action while serving in Vietnam.
George W. Bush flew hundreds of hours in the F-102.
