Well I can tell you who is not a hero, a guy who manufactures wounds so he can get sent home early. That's who's not.
GQ SUMS UP W'S VIETNAM YEARS GQ magazine has weighed in on the debate about George W. Bush's whereabouts during his stint in the Texas Air National Guard. The August issue features a spoof investigation by senior editor Jason Gay, which claims Bush was a member of an elite spy team called SUMS and single- handedly brought the Vietnam War to a close by "disrupting Vietcong activities using fraternity-style gags" in a mission code-named "Operation Goldfish Swallow." Gay reports, "As the coup de grace, they lodged a banana in the tailpipe of Vietcong negotiator Le Duc Tho's car, temporarily shutting down his motorcade. Incredibly, the prank techniques wore down the North Vietnamese . . . and pushed [them] to the bargaining table." The tall tale, which goes on to finger Bush as Bob Woodward's Deep Throat, is accompanied by photos of a young W lookalike in tightie- whities being yelled at by Barbara Bush, boozing in Vietnamese bars, and hanging out with Mick Jagger and Keith Richards on another top-secret mission to discover if the Rolling Stones were "using their lyrics to indoctrinate American youth towards socialism, drugs, rioting against the government, bisexuality, hot pants and tea."
If thou art feeling up to it
So... what are his conclusions?
Tha article is a lowblowing attack on Bush's intelligence, its got to be one of the worst written satires in history.
These same bastards who attack Bush's National Guard service (and slap every Guardsman and Reservist in the face, in the process) had absolutely no problem with the fact that William Jefferson Clinton total evaded the draft and protested against the Vietnam War in Moscow's Red Square. And they no doubt supported Clinton when he ran against true war heroes/World War II veterans in 1992 and 1996. And now, at their convenience, they want to bring up one's military record.
IIRC Bush volunteered for Vietnam but the war was winding down and there was no demand for pilots, so he had to stay in the Air National Guard.
The article looks pretty gay to me. It appears to be some sort of lame attempt at humor.
Where was kerry for his full tour and where are his med records?
And why does this man who cant even throw a baseball in front of the entire nation proclaim him self as a war hero. The last guy I met that served in VN did is tour and went pack voluntarily for two more as a tunnel rat. Guess what????? he has never proclaimed him self as a war hero like chickensh!t kerry.
I don't understand what is so wrong and shameful with the Texas Air National Guard? That is an elite outfit and very professional. There is nothing wrong with serving your country in the National Guard.
GQ....does that stand for "Gay Quarterly"?
However leave it to a GIMMIE to compare AIR NATIONAL GUARD and National Guard duty to be the same as X42's draft dodging masterpiece.
This brings up a related question: Other than the very few months he was in uniform in Vietnam, where was John Kerry during the Vietnam War?
sirwarlok069?
My neighbor's jackass died.
I'm notifying the next of kin.
Where was Hanoi John after he returned from his 1/3 of an incountry tour?
Committing sedition and treason while lying and backstabbing his Band of Brothers.
