This is the sort of stuff that I am supposed to take seriously?:

He got out of the Vietnam war and became a pilot in the Texas guard despite failing the intelligence test. "His score on the pilot aptitude section, one of five on the test, was in the 25th percentile, the lowest allowed for would-be fliers." --Dallas News.

A. It was not an intelligence test.
B. He didn't fail, but got a score in the percentile that was the "lowest allowed would be fliers".
C. It has never been demonstrated that he personally pulled any strings, and the one allegation against his father is single- sourced.
D. As I posted extensively a few weeks ago, the Air National Guard was used extensively during Korea, and there was no way to be sure one would not be sent overseas.
