Probably thirty or forty at least, since he was a pilot in Air Force Air Lift Command during the years after he graduated from A&M.

That would be the Air Mobility Command....AMC...

I was in plenty of countries as well, but only to get drunk and chase women, they never invited me to make a political speech. I don’t think Perry made any either.

Being there, that reminds me of a movie.

Thanks for the correction. I'm sure you're right.

In any case, I'm not necessarily in the Perry camp but the meme some try to sell that a college graduate (yes, even an Aggie) and former commissioned military pilot is a bumpkin and/or stupid won't wash.

Of course, it was even more ludicrous when they tried to pin that tag on a certain someone with a similar accent who flew a widow-maker supersonic interceptor for the USAF (and TANG) and had an MBA from Harvard, but there were and are plenty who swallowed one too.
