You guys are trying to put way too much spin in this. GWB followed a
path that others that I knew did either by choice, political influence, or
luck of the draw. Algore clearly did the same with his assignment as a
press officer.


Gore was not an officer.



A two star I worked for did his tour as a navigator (!!) on a T-39 Learjet
(c/s
Scatback) that ferried between Clark Air Base Phillipines, Saigon, and the
Thai
bases.


T-39 Sabreliner.
