The evidence conflicts with your assertion that Bush received preferential treatment. The facts remain (these are just a few from memory): When Bush applied, there was a shortage of qualified applicant for pilot positions in the Texas Air Guard. Nobody has claimed that Congressman Bush had any contact with the air guard until the officer wrote to tell him how well his son was doing. During the last two years, he exceeded his point count required. The Texas guard was re-assigned to a new model plane than the '50's vintage F-101(?) Bush was trained on. Bush had indicated that he would not be re-enrolling at the end of his term. No sane officer would invest resources on retraining a pilot (and risk him crashing a plane) who would not be around in after the next year. He asked for and was granted permission to attend school. Others in similar situations without connections were treated the same way. Your evidentiary documents are forgeries. Kerry has not signed his form 180. If you respond with an inflammatory one-liner, you deserve to be ignored, and will be.
