Citizens For Honest Fighter Pilots Call On Bush To Explain Military Record

[kentuck]

Isn't it about time that George W Bush answered once and for all the questions about his military record? As his hatchet men assassinate the character of someone that served honorably in Viet Nam, the media is permitting him to escape the scrutiny that we must insist be applied equally to the two candidates. We remember what the media did to Al Gore and now, they are in the process of doing the same thing to John Kerry. This cannot stand. The media must be called to answer for their part in this despicable act.

As a member of "Citizens for Honest Fighter Pilots," I want to remind voters that while Kerry was in Vietnam, doing whatever it was that the "Truthful Vets" imply he was doing over there, Bush was an AWOL, suspended fighter pilot, roaming around somewhere in between Alabama and Texas.

Nobody seems to know which State of the Union Bush was in or what shape he was in. Also, not one of the 700 members at the Alabama unit where he claims he served, remembers serving with him.

As for Kerry's whereabouts, we at least have him pinned down to a certain river in a jungle in Vietnam, and according to "Truthful Vets," he was in pretty good shape. Everyone remembers seeing him there, too.

Bush's records on the other hand, contain no explanation for his bizarre behavior during the last 18 months he was in the Guard, when he failed to show up for a yearly physical, got suspended from flying, and went for five months without attending a single drill.

3. We have no choice but to bring up the AWOL issue and keep it there....

until it is resolved or the character assassinations cease. Talk about Bush's AWOL at every opportunity.

5. Bring it up and show that B*sh didn't have the balls to either

fight in Vietnam OR to protest it.

He's a pathetic, f**king C-O-W-A-R-D. Why any combat veteran would vote for him is beyond me.

6. It's a public record....

Show the document where he checked that he did not wish to go overseas. Lay it out. They asked for it. Let's give it to them.

But then again, once you've condemned thousands upon thousands to their deaths through an unnecessary war, this is doodley-squat.

12. A Commercial needs to be made asking people that served

In the unit that Bush was AWOL from.

They should ask each one of them if they remember him ever showing up.

Of course you might have to dig a few up because they have probably (Died) recently by accident.

14. It's wrong to give him a free ride on this issue any longer

He really needs to cough up the information on where he was while he was supposed to be serving in the T.A.N.G.

Wouldn't be prudent to keep ignoring the public's right to know.
