Oh, please. I heard the same argument when Bush was running against McCain. I equate George Bush's flying in the ANG the same way I see my limited experience driving stock cars at the Richard Petty Driving Experience and racing the Skip Barber Racing Series. Yeah, I've done it but it does not make me Mario Andretti. The same way Bush is no Chuck Yeager. He was not pushing the envelope, he was not up against SAMS or MiGs, and Kenny Loggins was not singing Danger Zone every time he went up in the hostile skys of Texas.

"I equate George Bush's flying in the ANG the same way I see my limited experience driving stock cars at the Richard Petty Driving Experience and racing the Skip Barber Racing Series."

Then despite your "limited experience", you still have an inflated sense of self-importance.

"Yeah, I've done it but it does not make me Mario Andretti. The same way Bush is no Chuck Yeager."

Lame strawman. Bush has never compared himself to Yeager or any other combat flyer.
