Reply #3: Bush was NOT AWOL! [View All]

[MS760]

Why has it not yet occurred to anyone that the Bush family may have hired a (close look-a-like) surrogate to serve Bush's military duty? It's really hard for me to believe Bush, at 26, known for all night partying and general carousing, could have ever had the mental discipline to fly a delta wing jet fighter, admittedly a very complex and unforgiving airplane of that era.

An "OUTSTANDING" F-102 pilot Yet!

Having used a surrogate, and then having that surrogate become somehow disabled during Bush's duty term, would explain all of the missing gaps in his service records and documentation.

I suspect that Bush suddenly decided flying wasn't for him and quickly left Texas for Alabama before knowing if his request for transfer was approved or not (it wasn't) because he had no choice, he didn't look quite enough like his disabled stand-in to pass muster and he very likely didn't even have a clue as to how to fly even something as simple as a Cessna 172.
