>>GWB didn't get kilt in his 5 1/2 years as a fighter interceptor pilot<<

He didn't serve 5 1/2 years as a pilot. He pretty much stopped flying in '72.   At best, he was true fighter pilot for about 2 years. He was certified combat ready in 1970 but was under review for his bad simulator performances in '72 and was downgraded to a training craft and no longer allowed to fly an F-102. By '73, Bush had stopped flying altogether because he was grounded--a status he carried until the end of his enlistment.

As for his 5 1/2 years in the Guard, nice of you to gloss over the fact that he never fulfilled his 6 year obligation. Supposedly he was let go early so he could attend business school but you do NOT get cut loose early for reasons as that. You are only cut loose early due to hardship, disability or bad performance. I think we can easily see why Bush was let go. If he was any good, he'd have been retained for as long as the ANG could legally do so.

If you're going to dispute this, you need to register your complaint with the White House because my data was taken from the records they themselves released to the public (I NEVER quote anything from the Killian docs so please don't start with that).

As for your bizarre attempts at arranging a wimp contest between Bush and Kerry despite the clear evidence of which one punked out, I don't know what to make of it other than to conclude that you are incapable of finding any fault with Bush whatsoever no matter what he does or doesn't do. It's old, it's boring, it's pointless and you need to give it a rest.
