Perhaps someone can explain to me why these memos, assuming they are real, are damaging to the president.
This was in 1972 and 73. Bush had full filled his flying requirements. To be proficient you should fly weekly esp on the jet, (the T103?) he was flying as it was a dangerous plane with a poor safetly record. He clearly could not fly weekly to maintain proficiency. So he opted out.
He had logged over 350 hours on this plane. I don't blame him for wanting out of the active flying in the reserves. For one thing, there were more pilots than planes at that time. They did not need him.
This is again a tempest in a teapot but the DEMS want to make something out of it.
THE BOTTOM LINE IS THIS... BUSH HAS PRODUCED ALL DOCUMENTS THAT ARE AVAILABLE. KERRY HAS NOT...SIMPLY HAS NOT... THAT IS THE ONLY ARGUMENT THAT WE NEED TO GIVE. KERRY, PRODUCE YOUR MILATARY DOCUMENT OF ELSE STFU!!!

Kerry needs to excute the 180 (instead of the 360s he's been executing up til now).......
OTOH, if the docs are a forgeries, hit CBS as hard & as often as possible.
"This is again a tempest in a teapot but the DEMS want to make something out of it. "
They prob. think this is a smoking gun of some kind, because they have no experience with the military and how it works. It makes them look incredibly STUPID.
Maybe they know that and are merely trying to snooker JoeSixpack.
This is nothing: a guys memos to himself. Kerry's problems are with modifications to OFFICIAL DOCUMENTS which were in official personnel files.
