Didn't Kerry stop attending reserve functions when he turned full red?

Bush has said he skipped the exam because he knew he would not be flying F-102A fighters in Alabama. That one does worry me. You're in the military, it's required, you do it -- period. That's what you swore to do. If you don't think you need it, then get a waiver from the appropriate authority. Should I have skipped my yearly MOS qualification because I knew I was getting out in six months anyway? Not a chance.
The military could have decided to call him to active duty, and then they'd have a pilot ordered to go who can't -- all because that pilot took it upon himself to decide he didn't need a physical. Don't say "They wouldn't have done that" because that's not the point. The military has rules and regulations to make sure everyone in training status is ready for a potential (however far-fetched) call to arms.
Bush's own statement leads me to believe he really has a "the rules don't apply to me" mentality. What other rules don't apply to him? Federal law? The Constitution?
But then I think that was 30 years ago and people do change -- Bush certainly has in many ways to the better. But then there's that statement showing he still believes his personal decision trumps policy. What am I to think?

Bush stopped attending Guard drills Slight correction in the wording: He asked for and received permission to stop attending Guard drills because he had already accumulated enough points to make up for it.

Fox ran a story on this more than a month ago. Detailed the no. of points required to meet the minimum standard for guard service. Bush had already exceeded the min. no. of points when he requested an early discharge. Bush was trained on the F-102 fighter. At the Alabama location to which he was assigned, they did not have the F-102 that is why he did not need or take the flight physical. He would not be flying. All of the MSM is well aware that Fox researched this topic and aired its findings. They continue to spew these lies for no other purpose than to cause a few people not to vote for Bush. As I stated in an email to cbs last week, "You spent 5 years digging into President Bush's TANG record, and yet you have not spent 5 mins. investigating kerry's questionable discharge."

"And given your past posting record, you put this up because....."
Because it's in the news and a quick search revealed it had not been already posted. I was surprised so see this as the leading story in the local paper (online). Sorry, should have included a BARF alert.

Okay ... That's it ... I've held out as long as I can.
I have finally seen the light, and now realize that President Bush is a lowlife, and ran away from his National Guard obligations.
I'm switching my vote to our Vietnam hero, John Kerry.
Now will you quit posting this crap?
