Bush prematurely left his Texas National Guard unit because nerves, fear and a possible drinking problem?

While baby Bush may have once been an airman, Kerry currently owns and
pilots his twin aircraft today. While baby Bush shuts down thousands
of square miles of airspace wherever he roams, Kerry declined flight
restrictions for his presidential campaign.

Fear of Flying

A new source has emerged with what she says is personal knowledge
about why George W. Bush prematurely left his Texas National Guard
unit in 1972--because nerves, fear and a possible drinking problem
were affecting his ability to pilot his F-102A plane. If true, this
information further confirms a growing body of evidence that Bush has
not been candid about his departure from his unit. ...

Why Bush Left Texas
by Russ Baker

Growing evidence suggests that George W. Bush abruptly left his Texas
Air National Guard unit in 1972 for substantive reasons pertaining to
his inability to continue piloting a fighter jet.

A months-long investigation, which includes examination of hundreds of
government-released documents, interviews with former Guard members
and officials, military experts and Bush associates, points toward the
conclusion that Bush's personal behavior was causing alarm among his
superior officers and would ultimately lead to his fleeing the state
to avoid a physical exam he might have had difficulty passing.

Quick! Get Dan Rather on the phone!

Do you really believe crap like this?

Why wouldn't you believe the words of the widow of the airman who
replaced baby Bush in the TNG when people who know her publicly vouch
for her character and credibility?

This has what to do with piloting aircraft?

Nothing, that's what. Again, is it any wonder no one takes you seriously
when you bitch about off-topic posts?

Because she doesn't know what she's talking about.

And Larry doesn't either.

Personally, I will take a pilot who flew 600 hours in F-106s over somebody
who took three minor wounds, served 4 months in country and left and then
went over to the other side, committing treason and betraying both his
country and his fellow servicemen.

Like all far-lefties, you are as hypocritical as you are stupid.

about why George W. Bush prematurely left his Texas National Guard
unit in 1972-

Lt Bush did not leave his TANG unit in 1972; he transferred to an
Alabama unit for a few months, then returned. In each year of his six
years of Air Guard service, he exceeded the 50 points required of him.
There's a full account at www.warbirdforum.com/bushf102.htm

It's not a great record, but it's a good one, representing more
service (and more dangerous service) than I put in as a member of the
U.S. Army.

(And more, and more dangerous, service than most of his critics! Just
to kick the tires and light the fire on a century-series jet, as an
F-105 veteran points out, is to put your life on the line.)
