Check out a TIME quote of the day on Bush's upcoming visit to Vietnam
“It's a lot safer than it was when he didn't go the first time.”
— Ben Barnes, the former Texas lieutenant governor, when asked if he had any advice for President Bush as he prepares for his first-ever trip to Vietnam next month

4. I want to puke every time I see that picture.
I simply cannot stand to see that SOB in a uniform, he dishonors the memory of a lot of good men, far better men than all his money and power will ever make him.

6. I remember reading a Freeper story that George was CIA
Edited on Sun Oct-15-06 01:01 PM by itsrobert
And he flew secret missions for the CIA and he was in Nam. That's why he was never around for his guard duty.

lol

11. I have read interviews with people who knew him during
that period. They say he got so he was hand-shaking, cold-sweating scared to fly. Others say that he was afraid of the mandatory drug tests thatw ere to start right about the time that he walked away from his TANG commitment.

13. What a colossal pussy! He used the military for flying lessons.
My Cousin was also my best friend and idol was shot down and killed at the close of the war. He had taken my Brother and I to the o-club pool at Ellington on his last leave in the states before he died.

There was a group of the local "O"s having a barbecue there that day. I've often wondered if butthole was in the group there at the pool.
