Sorry, but all signs point to a military force that is VERY hostile to George W Bush. He has savaged veteran programs. He is treating returning soldiers like SHIT. He has pushed the nation into an ill-conceived mission against terrorism. He has undermined their ability to train for "peace-keeping" mission that were so successfull under the Clinton administration.
He sent Guardsmen over to Iraq without proper body armor or armored vehicles. He has hired companies that don't provide adequete shelter or nutrition to our servicemen.
Did anyone watch the Daily Show last week???? The academy trucked a whole BUNCH of cadets on TWO days to a show that criticizes and insults the Commander in Chief MERCILESSLY. Do you think that the West Point staff is trying to send a message???? Of course, they already did when they released a report stating how ill-concieved and pointless the Iraq war is.
In the general election, you will see an army of veterans and retired officers campaigning AGAINST Bush. That is one thing that Kerry DOES have going for him. He has an excellent war record and it's VERY obvious that he understands these guys. They will go to war for Kerry. They HATE Bush.
Finally, the AWOL issue is big when you consider that the Bush administration has put stop-loss orders in place against fighting guardsmen. You see, Bush couldn't even finish his sweetheart guard duty assignment. He stopped fighting jets which they ALL know the military would NOT let THEM do.
"Sir, I just don't feel like I want to fly jets anymore." "Son, we spent millions of dollars training your coward ass. You get back in that fucking jet before I send you to the stockade!!!!!"
You see, Bush didn't serve like he was supposed to. He didn't even serve in an "adequete" fashion. Plus, he got out 9 months early to go to business school. There is NOTHING about college that prevents a guardsmen from doing his regular duty. Their are thousands of guardsment who will testify that.
Now, Mr. Deriliction in Chief is telling Guardsmen who HAVE gone to war and HAVE served with honor and distinction that they CAN'T LEAVE. They did their duty. They fullfilled their contract AND MORE. And they CANNOT LEAVE. Bush shirked his duty and THEN LEFT EARLY. He DID NOT fullfill his contract with the Air Force. He wasted the taxpayers money because he DID NOT complete his duty in an honorable fashion.
A LOT of guys from that era would have JUMPED at a chance to fly F-102s AND stay out of Vietnam. Bush was pushed to the FRONT of the line. Then, he decided that he didn't want to do it. It didn't suit him. BTW, there was NOTHING about working on a political campaign that prevented Bush from reporting for duty once a month ... ABSOLUETLY NOTHING.
This is a question the press has avoided.
"Mr. President, why couldn't you just DRIVE back to Houston once a month to do your duty???? Why did you NEED a transfer when you were only required ONCE A MONTH!!!! Wasn't your father wealthy. Couldn't you just rent a Cessna (that you allegedly trained on) and FLY back to Houston once a month???? It was well within your families means?????"
This gets closer to the REAL reason that Bush stopped flying. He couldn't take his physical because he was on Cocaine. He did the "community service" IN HOUSTON (See, if he was in Houston, why couldn't he do his one weekend a month flying F-102s) for a Cocaine bust that was expunged from his record.
No. The issue goes STRAIGHT to dignity and character. This is what he said about HIMSELF. He had the integrity, dignity and the character to be President of the United States. Shirking your duty (after getting a sweetheart deal) does NOT show dignity or character. It shows that he's a fuckup.
There are lots of recovered fuckups out there. Things go wrong in people's lives. But do we honestly want an ex-fuckup in the White House???? Actually, he's still a fuckup. He simply has well paid people around him that prop him up.
No the AWOL issue will keep walking on it's HUGE legs because the White House CANNOT let the ugly truth come out. George W was a drug addict and lied to cover that fact up.
