re: #143 Cato the Elder
Well, one thing is possible, after all. If you are in a unit you know is not going to be called up, volunteering is easy.
I don’t say Bush did know this, but it’s possible.
If he had really, truly wanted to serve in Nam, he would have found a way.
Just sayin’.
The difference here is Bush was a fighter pilot and he didn’t have the hours. Why would he go if not to be a fighter pilot?
