Wasn’t the Air National Guard a pool from which many pilots were sent to Viet Nam?
Yes. Yes it was.
A leftist military historian once told me that George Bush faced absolutely no chance of action in Vietnam because the F-102 on which he trained never saw service in that war. I made a couple of phone calls and did five minutes of research to refute his claim. That was eight or ten years ago. To this day, he refuses to acknowledge that he was wrong.
