Bush Flew Fighter Jets During Vietnam

To put it in perspective, here are 9 ways Bush got favored treatment in the
service due to his political connections (he
was then son of a Congressman and grandson of a former Senator):

1) He got into the Guard by pulling strings, avoiding the year and a half
waiting list;

2) He took a 2-month vacation in Florida after just 8 weeks, (1 of 3 leaves),
to
work on a political campaign;

3) Bush skipped Officer Candidate School and got a special commission as a
2nd
Lieutenant, without qualifications;

4) He was assigned to a safe plane (being phased out of active service), the
F-102 ;

date with President Nixon's daughter Tricia ;

was removed from flight status;
