WASHINGTON - Newly unearthed memos state George W. Bush was suspended from flying for the Texas Air National Guard during the Vietnam war because he failed to meet Guard standards and failed to take his annual flight physical as required.


The suspension came as Bush was trying to arrange a transfer to non-flying status with a unit in Alabama so he could work on a political campaign there.


A memo written a year later referred to one military official "pushing to sugar coat" Bush's annual evaluation.

2. Can't get link to work...

is there a image of the document..I looked on smoking gun but could not find it...

This is a huge story that Shrub can't slink away from..BUSH WAS SUSPENDED FROM FLYING and he never finished his duty...I don't give afuck if Kerry scraped his knee to get a purple heart Kerry fullfilled his duty and bush hid from it ..plain and simple even a republican could understand that.

Combined with the fact that Bush dropped the ball with 9/11 how in the hell can anyone want to vote for bush????

They are Energizer Rabbits, aren't they? When do they sleep?

Actually, I would not be at all surprised to find that someone has contracted an Internet "Marketing"(read: astroturfing) firm to squash these stories. It's an explanation of the ruthless efficiency. An ad hoc movement would not be as good at this.
