The above PDF is the record that says Bush disobeyed a direct order from his superior in the Texas Air National Guard in May 1972 to undertake a medical examination that was necessary for him to remain a qualified pilot,

and that re Mr. Buah - a Flight Review Board IAW AFM 35-13 was order convened (of which no record has surfaced) and in this memo from Bush's squadron commander, Lt. Col. Jerry B. Killian, it says Bush "to be suspended from flight status for failure to perform" to U.S. Air Force and National Guard standards and failure to take his annual physical "as ordered."

5. Thanks! - Seems CBS ran a clean report - but ABC/NBC tried to confuse

the issue via Whitehouse spin that those reporting Bush disobeying a direct order, and his punishment board whose record is missing, and getting a favor from the Speaker of the Texas House to get in to begin with, are all "political" types.

And of course ABC, while saying that CBS experts verified and that CBS stands by its report, spend a full minute discussing those that suggest a forgery possibility by those damn Democrats!

4. Now all we have to do is get the whole media to run this bit of info.

And run it and run it and run it and run it...like they did the "kerry shot himself" meme.

6. "failure to perform to USAF/TexANG standards"

I feel this is important.

That means that in addition to blowing off his flight physical he did something ELSE wrong.

And that has been buried. What is it?

Georgie, what did you do wrong?

And you requested a non-flying billet? WTF kind of fighter pilot (sic) gives up his flying status?

WHAT DID YOU DO, GEORGIE?
