Don't you wonder if he's lying? I'm not asking if you believe he is (I know you'd never believe that), I'm just asking if you ever think that maybe he icould be?

Yes I would say something is odd, but I dont think that implies a coke habit either.

The simple answer is that his duty is up and his flight status really did not matter at that point.

Either way, all of his training has been completed, all of his military records have been released and he got an honoro discharge. There is nothing else to the story.

Yes there is. Lots.

Not really.

And quite frankly charrison, you're "there is nothing left to the story" statement shows your BA partisanship.

Whether you're a D or a R, there is more to this story.

Full military records have been released
Honorable discharge.


What more is there to the story. Other than you still want proof he is a cokehead, which appears not to exist.

Why did he make up the story about his doctor? See? More to story.

And I think you're wrong about all of Bush's records being released.

Of course there's more to the story, charrison, just like there is always more to Kerry's story.

I am sure there is, but it does not validate cokehead claims either.

Come to think of it, similar situation to Cheney, who had "other priorities...."

Perhaps they should have gone and killed innocent civilians and poisoned food supplies of the natives like Mr. Kerry? War changes people. Draft dodging prolly does too.

Gee, that's funny...especially when I'm still looking at this quote from you "There is nothing else to the story.".

There's nop shane opting for the National Guard tp stay out of Viet Nam. I'm sure many of those who were drafted and ended up dying or getting maimed in Viet Nam would have done the same thing if they had the connections that the Dub did.

Here's an interesting quote from a different story...

Since February, the White House has banned all Guard and military commanders outside the Pentagon from commenting on Bush's records or service.
That raises a few eyebrows. ;)


From the same article...

? Why did Bush, described by some of his fellow officers as a talented and enthusiastic pilot, stop flying fighter jets in the spring of 1972 and fail to take an annual physical exam required of all pilots?

? What explains the apparent gap in the president's Guard service in 1972-73, a period when commanders in Texas and Alabama say they never saw him report for duty and records show no pay to Bush when he was supposed to be on duty in Alabama?

? Did Bush receive preferential treatment in getting into the Guard and securing a coveted pilot slot despite poor qualifying scores and arrests, but no convictions, for stealing a Christmas wreath and rowdiness at a football game during his college years?

link


BTW, this article is also from USA Today. Now I'm totally confused. ;)


But then again, who're they kidding. There's absolutely no more to this story, right charrison?

Other things to do? You mean like NOT GETTING SHOT AT!!

Kerry served his country and had an honorable discharge alos. SO?

Why are we talking about Kerry's service with no talk about Bush's? Hell, he served his country? They wouldn't even let him FLY THE PLANE!

The only reason you consider this thread to be a pos is because you're so partisan that you don't care if it's true.

BTW Ozoned, "Where's the irony?"

Wow....

This has me wondering where this election would be right now if Howard Dean would have gotten the nomination instead. It's my bet that we wouldn't be dwelling on 35 year old military service records as much as we are now.

Throughout my lifetime military service has had no bearing on who should become President.

George Bush I vs. Clinton (military record unimportant)
Clinton vs. Bob Dole (military record unimportant)
Al Gore vs. George Bush Jr. (military record still unimportant)
George Bush Jr. vs. John Kerry (military record is suddenly crux of election)

When did this happen? Or is this simply a matter of which candidate has this benefit going in their favor? Either way, Kerry?s campaign is doing a damn fine job running with it.

After all, he's got three purple hearts......

Nope we would be dwelling on Dean's time on the slope after being defered as 4F.

Whether Senator Kerry made his military record a part of his campaign or not his military record would have been brought up. Better to bring it up yourself than have you compatition do it.

I still want to know why Lt. Bush couldn't find a flight surgeon in Alabama!
