Why doesn't the media just drop this old lie. I thought Presiedent Bush or his staff presented facts that absolutely refuted this false charge.

[Eric in the Ozarks]

W put in all his required time in the Texas Air Guard.
He's not Eisenhower, but he's ten times better than the alternative from the last election.

Figures they prefer a draft dodging killer of rangers and babies.

The toon did that pretty well.

[Reagan Man]

Just for the record, Linda McQuaig is a rabid anti-Bush zealot.

Here's a photo of the leftwinger.

While there were only 49 media stories about Bush's military past during his presidential campaign....

This is because the story is a total fabrication and libel is serious. Clintons draft dodging ways were true yet the people did not care.

[Republic]

It would be so great to see Linda, this obvious snobby Bush hater who wrote this garbage, don a flight suit and fly a JET PLANE herself, as President Bush did in the reserves.

Geeeeez.

And no mention here of billy clinton's cry baby letters after receiving draft notices to his draft board....saying how he loathed the military?

This author does not recognize courage vs cowardice. She only wants to make the point that Bush is a war monger at heart.

She is pathetic.

Silly woman.

What did Dubya do in the war, daddy?

He was Commander-in-Chief, put the best men in command, and gave the troops what they needed to achieve victory. And he won. Next stupid question, please.

[ewing]

This should have come with a 'gag or 'hurl' alert!

[TrappedInLiberalHell]

I'm currently reading Bush's "A Charge to Keep". Nowhere does it mention him going AWOL. In fact, I was impressed with his apparent flight experience, and his acknowledgement that he never had to face the stresses of combat flying. I would like to know the facts about this. I tend to believe Bush's version. The fact that there were so few stories about this, in a liberally biased press, makes me pretty confident the story has no real truth to it, or is being distorted by omitting facts that would cast it in the proper light.

[Welsh Rabbit]

Whoa! What a news flash! Is there anyone out there who is not aware that Bush did not go to Vietnam? I think not. (the sarcasm is meant for McQuaig, not you)

[Hugin]

President Bush served his time in the Texas Air National Guard and has an Honerable Discharge. He nearly universally is loved and respected by our men and women in uniform.

Clinton dodged the draft, lied about it, "loathed" the military, and was nearly universally loathed in return by our men and women in uniform.

'Nuff said.

Outside of the other article on this subject you posted have you posted any other articles? Is this your assignment to hunt and post these President Bush military record articles? If so, go back to time frame of the 2000 campaign and you'll several thoughout the time period discussing this topic posted on FR.

[Libertina]

Certainly every little boy and girl in the United States address the PRESIDENT as "W", and inquires about his "War Record." /sarcasm. I loathe liberals.

[moodyskeptic]

Canada = Jealous and Cowardly

[desertcry]

Consider the source of this smear. The liberal media, of which the toronto star is one of the most biased are scraping the bottom of the barrel to find anything negative about President GWB. The results of the Nov 5th election scared the liberal media completely out of it's wits. These
neo-socialits/communists are whistling and spitting thier venom in the dark towards the 2004 elections.

[Cannon6]

Better still, what did clinton do during the war?

[I got the rope]

Those caught shirking National Guard duties were usually punished by being drafted into the real army ?

This b*tch has got some nerve.

This one is for all you Liberal Lurkers. A Texas National Guardsman

"Why doesn't the media just drop this old lie. I thought Presiedent Bush or his staff presented facts that absolutely refuted this false charge."

Why if you thought this, why keep bringing it up?

[cannonball]

Dubya flew the F-102. If memory serves, all F-102s in the guard came under ADC. (Air Defence Command) Well let me tell you a bit about the ADC mission. ADC was responsible for intercepting and destroying any A/C which posed a threat to these United States. At many bases, two A/C were kept hot. That means there was a pilot in the cockpit, a power cart connected, and ready to launch.

If the A/C scrambled they were vectored to the bogy by GCI. (Ground Controlled Intercept) If the Bogy was indeed a threat, they launched on it. The profile was such that if the ordenance missed, the F-102 didn't.

The F-102 (aka the lead sled) didn't have just a whole lot of range. If the fire went out on the way home, your only choice was to punch out. No Martin Baker seat in those A/C. You were shot out by a 75mm cartridge. Crushed vertebra were not uncommon.

No, you won't hear me calling Dubya a draft doger.

Why did you post this trash?
