Presidential TFR @ Kill Devil Hills

In article et
The Johnson administration chose a policy of not
sending Guard units to Vietnam,


I interpreted the intial post to imply that no guard units at all were sent.
Or Im reading too much into it and jumped to conclusion. Either way thanks for
clearing it up. You obviously have better info then I.
Just wanted to make sure that its clear that guard units did indeed get sent.
Is there evidence of Bushs volunteering for Vietnam duty? I have
heard this before but would like more information about it if possible.

Thanks

Now *there* was an example of a dim bulb, ill-prepared for his role, who had
the style and character to lead a nation through an armed conflict. But he
had a lot of help from his PM.

At least, thank God, it wasn't his brother.

Bush has the great (double) misfortune of being:

1. One of our least intelligent Presidents.
2. Following one of the most intelligent Presidents this country has ever
had.

That said, IMHO, history will not be kind to Billary. Bush 43? Too early to
tell....

(I'm claiming the Eisenhower administration too, even though I was only in
diapers in 1960)

Do you have any proof to back up this statement?


2. Following one of the most intelligent Presidents this country has ever
had.

Or this one for that matter? I was a Lo-Cal TV reporter in Arkansas when he
was Gov here. I spoke with him on many occasions including a 30 minute
interview. While not an idiot he never struck me as particularly brilliant
in any way other than his ability to make every person in his audiance no
matter if there was 1 or 1000 think he was talking to them.

It shouldn't be.

You beat me by 1.

Given his brother's political sympathies, there would have been no conflict
between Britain and Germany, and thus, no need for the U.S. to go to war in
Europe. It's a scary thought that Europe probably owes its freedom to
Wallace Simpson.


All the best,

How many hours did he log as PIC? Most pilots brag about that, in fact
most
consider that to be the defining metric.

what military pilots do you hang around with? I've never
met a military pilot that brags about hours.

Hours logged as PIC? Where's the bragging and the boasting? Military
pilots
wear their logged hours as a badge of honor.

what nonsense.

Everything can be analyzed on a continuium. Yes, President Bush did

in the National Guard. There is some question about his motives, hence
the
skepticism.

Several of my uncles joined rather than waiting to be drafted.
I guess you want to question their motives...

Bush is an IDIOT!

well, that certainly settles the issue.
