GWB's interest or lack thereof is kind of irrelevant in this

there would have been room for him. Reducing the pilot cadre
by half means a lot of folks get benched including as has been
pointed out nearly fully trained carrier pilots by the hundreds.

Not true, I've "rushed" ANG units and I've been in an ANG unit. They
spend the money (charged to their accounts) to send somebody thru UPT
and RTU, they'll keep you if you say...damn straight I want to fly
