Bump for Dipwad.

How ignorant most Americans are nowadays of the workings of the military.

"On the other hand, perhaps you ought to take a breath and consider your words and thoughts more carefully before posting. You will not likely receive a lot of sympathy with that sort of posting here. Moreover, and likely, you will not be believed or taken seriously."

You are responding to a Troll...

"bush does not deserve to be defended. unlike any of you, i just returned from iraqi freedom, medevaced, unfortunatley. what i saw on that flight, and in landsthul, and walter reed, will haunt me forever. all you armchAIR GENERALS EVER DO IS PRAISE BUSH.."

If I said what I feel about your above statement, JimRob would ban me. You sound just like the thousands of Vietnam fake 'Vets' we real ones have had to endure all these years. We learn to spot them from MILES away! My tag line is VERY apropos for you in this thread. (BTW, I'm no Bush-Bot)

"Unfortunately for him, the documents seem to show a year long absence. I think that's defined as "AWOL"

No, it's not AWOL. In the Reserves/Guard they go on a point system. Bush served 18 months active duty in flight training and racked up enough points for 15 or so years of reserve duty points. So, do the math and he served way beyond the required points needed for his 6 year term. If you don't like this then it's not Bush who is a fault but the system !

"or visit any troops he doomed for his oil grab"

You freekin idiot disruptor !

The article clearly stated that Lt Bush skipped the exam because he had no intention of flying, likely because he knew he was going to Harvard in a year. It said nothing about it not being necessary because the plane was being retired (which didn't happen for another two years). And would the ANG require an exam on a jet being retired anyway?

Look, I do not have, and never have had, a problem with President Bush's service record. He did his duty, as far as I am concerned, unlike one other recent President. I was only pointing out that the article did a pretty lousy job of debunking.

I guess that I was right about not being taken seriously then. ooops!

I'm not sure I'd classify what has happened - and what is now happening - in the Middle East as wholesale slaughter.

You have to ask yourself - "Where would you prefer your terrorism to occur? In Iraq? or here on American soil?"

With all the terrorists that the soldiers prepared for battle are attracting, they are terrorists who are NOT coming here.

It's a win-win situation for the U.S.

[cibco]

I agree with you. It is too bad reporters aren't educated these days. They have no clue when it comes to our military. They should stick to covering car chases and court cases. ;0)

[Cacophonous]

It is a win-win now, now that we are in it. I've contended that we should not have been there in the first place, but that's a discussion for another time. And it doesn't erase the fact that our troops are over there and doing a hell of a job.

[Only1choice____Freedom]

Not all of the reasons we went there are unclassified. When it is all said and done I think that you too will understand the decisions Bush made and just like most (not all) he has made concerning the American people. I don't have all the reasons, I have enough for my mind and because of his character, when the whole truth comes out, he will be justified in this matter. I think the media that we are all inudated with is definately skewed to oppose anything he does. It is a good thing to have doubts about a President. I can say that about this, I am satisfied.

[Only1choice____Freedom]

I do agree with you that our military is the world's best doing a great job, better than expected by mmost of the people. We should all be proud.

"bush does not deserve to be defended....... he did not even go to 1 soldiers funeral yet, or visit any troops he doomed for his oil grab.. and thats what it is, but of course none of you will ever know"

What kind of peace are YOU praying for --- The Peace of worldwide Islamism?

What war have you prepared for ---- the war against civilization being waged by fanatical Islamism?

If you truly have served, as you state -- then perhaps some of your head wounds have not been properly treated..
