If Bush Wasn't A Deserter, What Was He?
Question:
. . .a daddy’s boy?
Response:
A loophole?? LOL He is from Texas, there was an opening for fighter training and he took it.
His daddy’s influence FORCED the "opening" that allowed him to cut in at the front of the line. And that line wasn’t like the one at a movie theater: the poor guy Bush forced out likely ended up in Nam and possibly even dead or maimed.

He should had went to canada then, lot safer then learning to fly a delta wing fighter plane. Probablly wasn’t smart to had volunteered for the "Palace Alert" program which sent qualified F-102 pilots to Asia and Vietnam for six-month tours. I can not fault him for not wanting to go to Vietnam. Few did. What I fault him for not having the courage to admit his military service was a fancy set-up dodge for very few privileged. A loophole. Made possible for the well-connected, by the powerful few. A loophole?? LOL He is from Texas, there was an opening for fighter training and he took it. Hardly a loophole. Where most pilots start.

AWOL is a relatively minor matter, if it’s for only a day. Bush’s was for a year. and during a war. If the average Joe had pulled that sort of stunt at the time, he’d have been Saigon-bound in no time. It’s clear that Bush got special treatment all the way through because of who he was. During that same period, I missed a single meeting, and was reduced in rank. Oh– but my dad wasn’t a congressman.
Just imagine what would have happened had you missed a full year and refused to take a physical!!!

Most likely. I can not fault him for not wanting to go to Vietnam. Few did. What I fault him for not having the courage to admit his military service was a fancy set-up dodge for very few privileged. A loophole. Made possible for the well-connected, by the powerful few.
Nonsense. Many poor kids joined the guard too. If you were poor or middle class, and did not want to go to Vietnam, your life became more complicated as your options carried with them more life-defining consequences. It is of this group that we find the real heroes and people of courage and character. It is from this group that we should be electing our leaders and heads of State. (No, not from those who went and fought as they were told
