His opponent, W, was never much of a pilot, but reportedly did know how to get high. W's opponent is a war hero, but he can't remember where he put all the medals he was awarded. I remember, do you? JJ Sinclair Does W. remember where his are? Oh wait, he was running a campaign in Alabama. I don't think they award combat medals for that. Hell, he was skipping out on the duty he used to skip out on the war (Big deal, IMHO, that's the least of our problems with W.) Shawn P.S. I stil have my fathers Vietnam medals. |

Oh this will be much more entertaining then our annul
PW5 flame-fest. Let's remember this is not an USA only discussion group, well on second though maybe one of our rainy island types could provide details of Tony Blair's piloting exploits. Hey Shelton, see URL for much more detailed source material. http://www.awolbush.com/ |

And how would your father have voted? That would be a bit of a stretch. He was KIA 35 years ago. His sister is a very moderate Republican. He married into a brutally liberal family (I mean seriously. They even scare me sometimes!) I have my suspicions, but its not very American to vote for the dead (despite history). Cheers, Shawn |

The original message was that "he was not much of a pilot". The original
questions remain: how does the poster know, what are the sources ? As far as I am concerned, anyone, and I mean anyone, who qualifies to fly an F-102 is more of a pilot than I am. Cheers, Charles |

As far as I am concerned, anyone, and I mean anyone, who qualifies to fly an F-102 is more of a pilot than I am. Cheers, Charles I'm with you Charles. Also, I wouldn't throw too many stones at the guard units, because we all know where they are right now. Also, the California National Guard was called up at the start of that other Asian war (Korea) and they took 80% casualties. One doesn't know exactly where and when the guard will be called on to serve the country. God Bless them All, JJ Sinclair |
