The present US president George Bush was trained to intercept Soviet bomber carrier TU-95 Bear aircraft while he was in the Texas Air National Guard.
The US archives and retired colonel William Kampenii, Mr. Presidents fellow soldier since 1970 till 1971 have proved this fact.
Pilots from Air National Guard used to intercept TU-95 regularly. The Bears used to make patrol flights, the aircrafts were usually intercepted along the eastern US coast, sometimes just near Cuba, says colonel Kampenii.
George Bush J. reminisces in his autobiography A Charge To Keep how they were taught to direct to the target with the help of the radar, how to remain unnoticeable or simulate aerial combat maneuvers.
This year TU-95 were used by Russia Air Forces again since the end of the Cold War.
Gore left Vanderbilt law school. He has no law or divinity degree.\\
To be fair to AlGore it seems he left (no flunk out) to run for an open Congressional seat which he won
Skinny in country was Westmorland got rid of the Senator’s son after a few months......seems algore needed baby sitters which MACV couldn’t afford.
Highly believable.
Important work, especially in ‘62. Like I said, if we weren’t prepared to go to war, we would have. The enemy never asks your permission to attack.
I believe Gore eventually got a BA in . . . Journalism (duh!). That's how as a draft volunteer with 2 years on active duty he got to be an Army journalist without having to go to the highly competitive Defense information school in Indianapolis.
As a former OJT Army combat journalist/photographer in Vietnam (1968-69, 5th SFG(A)), I wouldn't knock his Army service. He volunteered for Vietnam, but the brass were terrified of having a serving Senator's son get hurt, so Al wasn't assigned to Vietnam until his father left office. By then he had only 5 mos. left on active duty. It's funny--when I got back after 20 mos. in Vietnam, I had less than 5 mos. left on my 3-year enlistment, so per policy, I got an early out.
True, he went in the Army because he saw that he needed to get his ticket punched for his political future, but unlike Kerry he was pretty much a conventional pro-American conservative Democrat then. When the New Left took over the party, he adopted all the Leftist shibboleths--anti-war, pro-abortion, anti-American, anti-human, etc. He's not stupid. He's just leftist.
