1. Bush ''gamed the system"
...On July 30, 1973, shortly before he moved from Houston to Cambridge, Bush signed a document that declared, ''It is my responsibility to locate and be assigned to another Reserve forces unit or mobilization augmentation position. If I fail to do so, I am subject to involuntary order to active duty for up to 24 months. . . ".......
Lawrence J. Korb, an assistant secretary of defense for manpower and reserve affairs in the Reagan administration, said after studying many of the documents that it is clear to him that Bush ''gamed the system." - Like he's doing now. Sounds like now would be a good a time as any to fulfill his obligations. I suggest he return to active duty, without safety equipment. It what he's asking his troops to live through. I say give him a taste of real life.
