Bush tells Connie Chung that "They should have probably called up the National Guard in those days. Maybe we would have done better in Vietnam."

Holy f***ing s**t!

Mr. AWOL touting his military creds.


Whopper after whopper, served up steaming hot. MKJ

5. "He flew fighter jets, uh no."

I thought he flew an F-102.

[BleedingHeartPatriot]

6. His "flights" are maybe more than one and he did not fly independently.

7. "he didn't fly independently"

what does that mean?

[BleedingHeartPatriot]

9. He did not fly a jet by himself.

He didn't make it through the training. MKJ

[bbinacan]

10. He flew the F-102A

which is a one seater. If I read his flight records correctly, he had 333.7 hrs jet time plus 240 hrs as a student. Check the link to see if I'm correct. Thanks.

11. LOL, cool, Rather's documents emerge! Did he do any solo aircraft carrier landings?

Your documents are great, do you have the flight records for those?

Thanks in advance! MKJ


edit After looking at these, I was wondering if you could clarify a couple of things.Do you mind a PM? MKJ

[bbinacan]

12. No carrier landings and

feel free to PM me.

[BleedingHeartPatriot]

13. Thank you and I apologize for confusing aircraft carrier landings with actual flights and relying on

my non photographic memory.

8. He flew F-102s, which were way obsolete at the time and unlikely to be deployed

Then you would have fled to Canada, and got a job managing a gas station.
