Like it ... now all we need is a fat cat $100K donor like the Swift Boat =
Liars have! I still wonder how many of the members of Lt Bush's =
Undergraduate Pilot Training (UPT) class that graduated in November 1969 =
served in, were shot down over, captured in or killed in Vietnam! If =
there was even one, then the Citizens for Honest Fighter Pilots would =
score a major coup!

Citizens For Honest Fighter Pilots Call On Bush To Explain His Military =
Record
A BUZZFLASH READER CONTRIBUTION
by Evelyn Pringle=20
Questions about Bush's military service would likely be history if not =
for the new attacks on Kerry's war record by the latest Republican hit =
squad of "Truthful Vets." But, by the way it looks now, we will be =
comparing the military records of the candidates right up to election =
day.=20
Therefore, my newly formed group, "Citizens For Honest Fighter Pilots," =
hereby calls on Bush to explain his whereabouts and activities for the =
period of time he was AWOL, and for him to repay the quarter of a =
million tax dollars wasted on his fighter pilot training.
As a member of "Citizens for Honest Fighter Pilots," I want to remind =
voters that while Kerry was in Vietnam, doing whatever it was that the =
"Truthful Vets" imply he was doing over there, Bush was an AWOL, =
suspended fighter pilot, roaming around somewhere in between Alabama and =
Texas.
Nobody seems to know which State of the Union Bush was in or what shape =
he was in. Also, not one of the 700 members at the Alabama unit where he =
claims he served, remembers serving with him.
As for Kerry's whereabouts, we at least have him pinned down to a =
certain river in a jungle in Vietnam, and according to "Truthful Vets," =
he was in pretty good shape. Everyone remembers seeing him there, too.
Bush's records on the other hand, contain no explanation for his bizarre =
behavior during the last 18 months he was in the Guard, when he failed =
to show up for a yearly physical, got suspended from flying, and went =
for five months without attending a single drill.=20
While Bush swears he attended drills in Alabama, nobody has produced a =
single record to document his attendance.
Kerry is definitely the smartest of the two candidates, because, =
according to the "Truthful Vets," he somehow conned the military into =
awarding him five medals for bravery. And despite being in the swamps of =
Vietnam, Kerry's records show exactly where he was on any given date.
Somehow I don't think Kerry volunteered to go to Vietnam because he =
heard it was a fun place to party. He went and served in that hell-hole =
at a time when other young men looked for every way on earth not to. =
That fact alone makes John Kerry a war hero.
