Clarification re the two Burketts:

Bill Burkett is Lt. Col. Bill Burkett a Vietnam Vet who served 28 years in senior command positions within the Army and the Army National Guard. He served on the National Guard Staff for Governor George W. Bush.

B. G. Burkett "Jug",(Vietnam vet with the 199th Light Infantry Brigade), is a military researcher. He was co-chairman of the Texas Vietnam Memorial with President George Bush as Honorary Chairman. He co-wrote "Stolen Valor" with Glenna Whitley. In "Stolen Honor" he has several entries on DAN RATHER. On pg 306 is the info on the 1988 "60 Minute" show "The Wall Within" in which Rather contended that between 26,000 and 100,000 suicides had occurred among Vietnam vets, "depending on what reputable source you believe."

In post 86 I wrote that B G Burkett wrote about Dan Rather in "Stolen Honor". I meant "Stolen Valor." Sorry for any confusion.

Two different Burketts, both Vietnam Vets, both with ties to the Bushes in Texas. Bill Burkett ended up despising GW. and B.G. (Jug) Burkett working with Bush senior on the Vietnam Memorial in Texas.
