Don`t jump to fast on this Bush thing not being true..........
Advertisements [?]
First on Boortz and now on the radio show that follows Hannity, they are now telling the story that Bush, during his first years in the guard built up more than twice the amount of time for an honorable discharge. They both said that more than likly Bush knew that the war in Viet Nam was winding down and his aircraft that he flew was fazed out in Viet Nam, so he decided that he wasn`t going to fly and he would save the government money. That is why he didn`t take the physical. Both shows said that it was common for pilots to do this toward the end of their time.
I thought when I heard this, this morning, it was strange. Now I heard it on the Mark Levin Show and now know its a talking point from Rove. How many pilots have you heard of walking away from training after the government put millions of dollars in training them, just because you wanted to save the government money by not flying? What the hell is that all about? Sounds like it`s true to me.
