My name is Steve Pitkin, age 20, from Baltimore. I served with the 9th Division from May of '69 until I was airvaced in July of '69. I'll testify about the beating of civilians and enemy personnel, destruction of villages, indiscriminate use of artillery, the general racism and the attitude of the American GI toward the Vietnamese. I will also talk about some of the problems of the GIs toward one another and the hassle with officers. -- Steve Pitkin, Winter Soldier Investigation, February 1, 1971. ---------- Steve Pitkin never intended to speak at the Winter Soldier Investigation.

EDITORIAL Military One-Upmanship February 13, 2004 Now that the White House has released a copy of a Jan. 6, 1973, dental exam with a chart of President Bush's teeth when he was at the Dannelly Field Air National Guard base in Alabama, it must come as a relief to dentists ? and other Americans ? to learn that Bush was taking good care of his choppers as a young man. This is the so-called best that the still-young presidential race is offering. The White House desperately tries to rebut Democratic charges that the president failed to fulfill his service in...

The White House released dental records intended to support President Bush (news - web sites)'s account of his Air National Guard service in Alabama, while several members of the Guard unit said in interviews they don't remember ever seeing Bush at their Montgomery base. Nor does the dentist specifically recall treating Bush. But all of them told The Associated Press that doesn't mean he wasn't there, serving alongside hundreds of others in the Guard unit. The White House late Wednesday released a copy of a dental evaluation Bush had at Dannelly Air National Guard Base in Montgomery on Jan. 6,...

"Hanoi" Jane Fonda rushed to defend Sen. John Kerry on Wednesday after a photo published by NewsMax.com on Monday picturing her with the Democratic presidential front-runner sparked outrage across the nation. "The American people have had it with the big lie," Fonda complained on CNN, suggesting that the photo showing her and Kerry at the same Sept. 1970 Vietnam war protest at Valley Forge, Penn., was misleading. "Any attempt to link Kerry to me and make him look bad with that connection is completely false," the radical actress insisted. While Fonda admitted that she and Kerry addressed the crowd...

This was the exchange at today's White House press briefing, much of which focused on George W. Bush's service records with the National Guard. JEFF GANNON (Talon News): Since there have been so many questions about what the President was doing over 30 years ago, what is it that he did after his honorable discharge from the National Guard? Did he make speeches alongside Jane Fonda, denouncing America's racist war in Vietnam? Did he testify before Congress that American troops committed war crimes in Vietnam? And did he throw somebody else's medals at the White House to protest a war...

White House releases Bush's National Guard records Effort to quell election-year controversy WASHINGTON — The White House, facing election-year questions about President Bush’s military service, released pay records and other information Tuesday that it said supports Bush’s assertion that he fulfilled his duty as a member of the Air National Guard during the Vietnam war. The material included annual retirement point summaries and pay records to show that Bush served. “When you serve, you are paid for that service. These documents outline the days on which he was paid. That means he served. And these documents also show he met...

The reporters are belligerently denying the validity of the President's records that now show his service. One mentioned an evaluation where the comment, "He was not observed at this unit" is made by the 2 deceased superior officers. NOT OBSERVED AT THIS UNIT means that his duty performance was not observed for the purpose of evaluation. It doesn't mean that he wasn't there!
