It is quite frustrating to hear the daily cacophony from the left and Sen. John Kerry, Massachusetts Democrat, et al., about Lt. Bush escaping his military responsibilities by hiding in the Texas ANG. In the Air Guard during the Vietnam War, you were always subject to call-up, as many Air National Guardsmen are finding out today. If the 111th FIS and Lt. Bush did not go to Vietnam, blame President Johnson and Secretary of Defense Robert S. McNamara, not lowly Lt. Bush. They deliberately avoided use of the Guard and Reserves for domestic political calculations, knowing that a draftee only stirred up the concerns of one family, while a call-up got a whole community's attention.
I see.......it must have been very stressful drinking those margaritas with their dates wondering if they were going to Vietnam or not. How many injuries and medals do you think Bush would have been awarded had he gone?
Hold on, I think I am going to break down in tears. Nope.....just something in my eye.
Sorry, dude, this dog don't hunt. Bush was a war dodger.......it was either a shotgun to the ear, Canada or the Nat. Guard. He made his choice. Deal with it! |
