This 3-Tour Viet Nam Vet Wants You To Remember Bush Deserted From The National Guard

"I Will Never forget" that while I and hundreds of thousands of others served against an armed enemy that he, a drunken coward, deserted.

Darn, he was just too busy. I'm sure the guys on the ground would understand.

He wasn't just a drunk. He was a coke head, too, back in those days. While honorable, brave vets like yourself were serving their country, he was trying his damnedest to avoid having to do anything where he might suffer a scratch!

Believe me, when I see Bush, that is ALL I think of. How a coward like him could be placed in a position to send our men and women to war just pisses me off. To see him gloat over the spilled blood of American soldiers is despicable!

And, you noticed I did not say "young" men and women. That's because we have many soldiers in their fifties serving in Iraq.
I am currently sending stuff and trading e-mails with a 56 yr old lady stationed in Balad, Iraq. She was in the Guard here in the states and was called up. While Balad is more of a support group unit, they are still over there in the 115 degree heat without the personal hygene items we take for granted.

But what gets my goat more than anything is why our dem reps. will not make this information know to the freepers. All they have to do is hammer it daily and nightly that "BUSH JR. IS A LYING DESERTER FROM THE NATIONAL GUARD, THAT WAS A DRUNKEN POT SMOKING, COKE USING SPOILED BRAT".

I served in that same TANG unit that he was in and I "transferred" to an out of state unit and back just as he was supposed to do. What is different is my DD-214 clearly shows an honorable discharge from the Texas unit-enrolling in the out of state unit - honorable discharge from the out of state unit and re-enrolling in the Texas unit and final honorable discharge with commitment met.

I don't think his shows squat. He went AWOL and then deserted. His punishment - pretend to make up a few drills an be early discharged. A total waste of all that flight training which he never should have had. What a waste of a human being.

My son like many active military people supported this mockery of a man. I don't usually talk politics with him but a couple of years ago he took a position with an Alabama ANG unit and wondered it that was the same unit that the pretender in Chief was supposed to have drilled with. my son was clueless about the whole story. I filled him in as best I could without vitriol.

I've posited this question many times and have never received a satisfactory answer. Bush has never, ever struck me as having the special "it" to climb into a Century series aircraft - much less any aircraft - and take it from the runway environment and into the ether.

I say his training records were pencil whipped, those useless photographs were posed and even his conversions to the FAA licenses are somewhat suspect. Someone prove me wrong.

When, precisely, did Bush or his unit receive the Air Force Outstanding Unit Award? Is Bush wearing a ribbon to which he is not entitled?

You may have something here.

DD-214 is for Active Service, NGB-22 if for National Guard Service; I have 2 of each & I looked it up specifically to be certain.

Everything else you said is Right On, especally about the AWOL spoiled brat boy!

our own brothers and sisters in this invasion that they started, both * and Cheney are criminals and it can't get any clearer than that. They don't give a sh$t, about these soldiers or their families.

I will bring mention it in conversation several times today.

"I am a liar. Smirk, smirk, smirk." - Commander AWOL

THREE TOURS? I only did two.

It's slightly late, but "Welcome home, Brother."

(And I do not forget either.)

obligation honorably just like countless others. This president chose to turn his back on his promise to serve and faced no consequences in doing so. Not an admirable action for the CiC.

Sincere thanks to you for your service.

it just sickens me. It is beyond my comprehension how this came about. Next they will name a freakin fighter jet after him.

:grr:

It will be called the shithead chimp!:evilgrin:

Major suck up time I guess?

Against a surprise Vietnamese air attack from Mexico. He was also sacrificing himself for troops going to Nam by throwing himself on all the booze and prostitutes over here, so the they were in top condition by the time they got there. Oh the children will sing songs about him.:sarcasm:

"Think I am lying as usual? Then ask "Marine" hunk Jeff Gannon. Smirk, smirk, smirk."

- Commander AWOL

Two and a half tours.I Will never forget!!!!!!. My son is in Afghanistan after two tours in Iraq. He is a lifer one year to go. God Bless them all. And to all who have served Thank you!

And now his third. Is it a relief for him to be in Afghanistan now?

Many thanks to him and to you!

My uncle served in Vietnam from 68-70, DaNang, thanks to him and to you for serving our country. :patriot:

During that time, the Squatter-in-chief was getting wasted, etc., and Dick was collecting deferrals :mad:

look how he demeaned Kerry and lied about McCain. Bush doesn't care for the military--he looks down on them and thinks he's better than them.

Thank YOU for your service.

... "What have you done for me in the past 5 minutes?" - GWB

Every serviceman and servicewoman deserve our thanks, not just today but everyday.
It is disgraceful and disgusting that this chicken-shit fool has put so many lives in harm's way FOR NO REASON (except hubris, oil, Halliburton).
God bless you and your family :patriot:

It's just disgusting when I hear those talking about DimSon as if he were an honorable person.

...even after serving in the Air Force for 8 years. The simple fact is, I was stationed in D.C. and it was more like a job with a uniform. Don't get me wrong, I am proud of the work we did especially taking care of those retired enlisted military members.

I will never forget their stories, their tears and their smiles. I will never forget!

Bush reminds me of those foreign leaders who wear uniforms and aren't or never were in the military of their country. And now we have a war czar...what the hell is that about? Now Bush is AWOL from the office he was selected to hold.

who deserted rather than undergo mandatory drug testing.

and he couldn't fox a neolithic drug test.
Pitifull.
My urine used to sell for $5.00 a cup in 1980.
It was pure as Ivory Snow and a popular item on the base.

:patriot: for your service to your country.

We don't have a smilie for what I have for George "AWOL" Bu**sh**.

of this administration ever wore the uniform of one of the Services. They are ugly murderers of youth, and they think nothing of sending others to die and be maimed for thier own gain.

If this little shitheel ever had seen or heard the sounds of battle, he would have shown the White Feather, and cowered in dread covered in his own feces and urine...x(

kicked and recommended

but i knows my history and it does nothing to more appall me than seeing georgie at one of these military functions when that pissant was awol. or how many vets do support his stupid ass.
shit. he is just not acceptable. and i pray he is impeached so there won' be any ronny raygun reprise of putting the chimperor's name on shit.

:patriot:

I hope someday we can prosecute that s.o.b.

waving republicans. From my encounters, most of them have never served their country in uniform!

Babs never had to worry her "beautiful mind" about her loved ones coming home in a body bag. God gave her the face she deserves.

===============

Thank you to the veterans and those who currently serve. :patriot:

He makes me think about lots of our lost Brothers everytime he opens his yap about being some kinda " commander in chief ." :evilfrown:

Memorial Day. If only those Texas Air National Guard records hadn't mysteriously "disappeared."

I cannot believe that lily-livered, spineless piece of crap has the unmitigated gall to stand in front of soldiers and make any claim to respect or glory.
I would guess that even those soldiers who are forced to share space with him for any of his photo-ops must be vomiting in their mouths and wishing that they could just turn their backs on him and give him the "salute" he so richly deserves.

the load of the Slacker "Bush".

Over-the-hill, missing ships movement, or just plain AWOL and desertion, it takes a lazy arrogant piece of shit to pull it off and then come out of a drunken stooper to have the SCOTUS steal an election for him. Hollywood couldn't get away with making this shit up until Awol-boy came along.

We should praise him for his humanity!! Chicken Dickie too!!

LMAO!!

Take your tripe elsewhere.

...and I'd hardly call that "humanitarian," would you?

Of course, being in the National Guard, Bushie really didn't have much of a risk of going to Vietnam, as he himself knew. And you knew that too, right?

If the Decider had supported Shotgun Dick Cheney from his 102 the war would have been over in minutes. :sarcasm:

Bashing the military? Oh please. You want to hammer on the corpses of Kennedy, LBJ, or Nixon over it, go right ahead. McNamara? Sure. Westmoreland? Absolutely. Kissinger? Can't think of anyone more deserving. But to give shit to a rank-and-file soldier that went and served with honor 40 years ago? That is utterly disgraceful, and plays into every stereotype that the RWers have about Democrats.

To ThomWV: This son of an in-country Marine vet thanks you.

...just solely in order to assuage cold-war paranoia. There is, however, honor in refusing to do so. You want me to focus on corpses, huh? Well, there are a lot more of them than what you mention, at least 2 million Vietnamese killed off by ThomWV and his buddies. I'll think about these instead.

I'm also entitled to think your opinion is nauseating, and shames us all.

in the various branches of the military. I know this because I was one of them.
After a 4 year tour in the Navy, I enlisted in the Air Force. This was early 60s. After a year plus of school at Keesler AFB, I was assigned to a radar site in North Dakota. I immediately found myself in conflict with and becoming the whipping boy for a SMSgt that didn't like military retreads in general and me in particular. I tried to "suck it up" but it was an intolerable situation as I quickly found that pissing off a Senior NCO on a small site made life quite miserable as there is no place to hide and no one to take your side. The whole sad story is too long to go into depth but I made a decision that for my long term freedom and the E-8s short and long term health I would remove myself from the situation.
I paid a serious penalty for that decision, ending my AWOL the only airman in the Fort Bliss Center Stockade (Army). Court-martialed and given a BCD plus confinement and forfeiture. Not having a father who was a congressman, head of RNC, Ambassador, Vice-president I paid the full price for what I did as there were no family friends to scrub my records.
I make no apology for what I did, as had I not, I believe that a certain SMSgt would have suffered the only fragging in North Dakota.

Thank you for your service, Thom WV. I, too, am sickened that Bush, the deserter, who would be considered the lowest of the low by my father if he were still alive is sending our kids into the horror that is Iraq.

:patriot:

Did my three tours between 1965 to end of '67.


"bush the coward"'s (ahem) "service" (or should I say the lack thereof) should be held up to ridicule again and again.

While I never served, and still feel guilty about it, my dad served in WWII, a mechanic in a training squadron in Ontario. He did his part, and so did two of his brothers, on of which navigated Lancasters over Germany. Here's what's cool: both of Mrs. Ironflange's grandfathers were in WWI. Flyboys.

Gee, I guess I have one thing in common with Shrub

with honor and valor, from the bottom of my heart thank you. You will not be forgot by the real patriots who love, honor and respect our nation and the brave men and women who answered the call of duty with something more than - "Gee, I'm busy, could I get back to you."

Bush and Cheney et. all. should hold their manhood cheep, if they can even find it. I know I hold them in nothing but loathing.

I carry a large sign to every peace demonstration I attend. Bushies tend to turn a liverish shade of purple when they read it: "SUPPORT THE TROOPS - impeach the CHICKEN HAWK IN CHIEF". I take joy in watching their reaction and listening to their sputtering rage - the truth hurts.

1) Go to Canada (England or outside US)
2) Only male child to bear the family name or sole surviving son
3) Homosexual
4) Married with children
5) In school (High School or College)
6) Felon or Prison inmate
7) National Guard - requires political connections

Just think how different our county would be now if our President had seen combat, other than drunken bar fights?

Vote for Veterans! Selfless service then, selfless service now?

nitwits like Bush and Cheney watching my back under fire. Cheney shot a guy in the face mistaking him for a quail. They are the kind of guys who get other guys killed. Just look at the record.

has the gall to stand up and tell us :wtf: our "destiny" is on Memorial Day, 2007.

Thanks for your service, Thom!~

thanks you Thom WV for your service....:patriot:

Right up there with "what stolen elections?," and "mushroom clouds on the way," and "impeachment would divide the nation."

Milquetoast Mantras.

--

But it gives a good overview of how willing our super-patriotic
Republican counterparts were to serve in the military as opposed
as to Democrats.

The Republicans missed their calling: they should have represented
the United States in the Olympics as sprinters, so many of them ran
so fast from serving in the military they now so proudly glorify from
their wood-paneled offices.

Too Skeery for the Bushwhacker! So he went home to Mommy!

Thanks for the thread and your service Thom.:patriot:
