Actually this question is bogus, as are several others. I chose to address this one simply because it's the easiest to debunk and the one that is the most obvious lie.

He never refused the physical. The fact is that at the time he was serving out his time in a non-flight status and there was no point in taking a flight physical. It's much ado about nothing as the bard would say.

Rather is an ass.

Still beating that horse gene? Nobody cares about this anymore. Bush is not being elected again, move on.

Bush was grounded because he did not take his physical. A copy of that order was released by DoD from the official records of GWB. He also failed to maintain his flight qualifications before he was grounded because he did not attend enough drills to meet the flying hours required. Pilots must drill double the number then to just qualify for a "Good Year". Bush had requested to drill in Alabama and that request was turned down and he was ordered to drill with his unit in Texas. Bush failed to comply with that order for about 5 months in late 1972.

Air Force Regulations require a Board of Inquiry when ever a pilot is grounded. The results or even existence of this mandatory board can not be found. In addition although the order used by CBS from Lt. Bush's Commander was not authentic, the secretary of Bush's Commander said she did in fact type such an order which means who ever fabricated the order CBS used must have scene the actual order typed by the Secretary of Bush's commander. In addition annual Physical exams are REQUIRED by regulation and not subject to the wishes of ANY officer. Bush did not comply with that regulation!

You may not care but a lot of people do care. Had Bush been treated like any other member of the military he would NEVER have been granted an Honorable Discharge because of his conduct and failure to obey regulations and the orders and his commander. That would have prevented him from being elected so this issue is very important. I hope some day all the facts about this sorted issue are made public.

Yes, never mind the fact that he had already been transferred to non-flight duty long before this. It was nothing more than a typical military paperwork screw up, which has been proven many times. Probably committed by some incompetent Kernel much like yourself. But that's ok, keep beating that dead horse and looking like an ass.

The transfer in 1972 was never approved to Alabama. The transfer you talk about was AFTER he failed to take his physical. You also fail to acknowledge that the annual physical is REQUIRED and BUSH was ordered by his Commander to take the Physical. Bush did not have the option of Not taking the physical and WHY would he not take a routine physical unless he was on Drugs that would have shown up when taking that Physical? I do not know if you were in the military but individual officers can not choose to disobey regulations. I had to take a physical each year and I was not a pilot!

I doubt that.  Even the far left doesn't touch this one much anymore.  Nobody cares gene.




And?  It changes nothing, and it seems you are now even more desparate to smear Bush.  Get over it.

One more time knucklehead, he never refuse to take a physical, he simply didn't take a flight physical that was no longer necessary, which is not the same thing. His transfer and change of duty status are not the same thing as you know perfectly well (unless you're an idiot).

And yes, kernel knucklehead, I was in the military and know perfectly well how the military works. As a matter of fact I worked in Aviation and so am very familiar with flight physicals and the conditions under which one is required to take them.

Your stupid drugs assertion is grasping at straws. At no time did he refuse a physical or fail a drug test. The more you type the more stupid you make yourself appear.

It is an example of how privilege is used to get special treatment that is NOT deserved. Many on this web site complain about what they believe is give always to the poor. Here we have an example of a person from a family with wealth and power that after being handed a commission, he did not earn or deserve, failed to uphold his obligations and then was able to go unpunished for failing to keep his commitments. This is the story of his entire life-- from getting off for DWI's to getting into colleges his grades did not warrant to keeping his ASS out of Vietnam while kids who did not have the pull Bush had were sent and 58,000 were killed. The way Bush has abused his power is an example of someone that was handed everything and then is giver special treatment when he failed to meet his committees and get away Scott free. It does make a difference to every officer that worked for their commission and then followed their orders. I am so glad I did not serve in the military with the likes of GWB as the Commander-in-Chief.

Your stupid drugs assertion is grasping at straws. At no time did he refuse a physical or fail a drug test. The more you type the more stupid you make yourself appear.

That is the ONLY rational reason why Bush would have risked what he did by disobeying the requirement to take an annual physical. Taking an annual physical is no big deal UNLESS he was on drugs and given his abuse of alcohol until he was 40, it is VERY likely that is just why Bush did not take that physical!

Personally I think you're the one taking drugs. That's the only explanation for your inane babbling.

dan rather is not sueing over the story


dan rather is sueing because they broke his contract.

Don't confuse Klink with facts, he doesn't like them very much.

don't insult klink he was doing a job he didn't like. and he never gave up.

You all deserve Bush but the rest of us do not!

Medication? You just have no idea how much you play the village idiot do you? I love a good character spoof as much as the next guy but you've become more unbelievable than Sir Peter Maxwell. I suspect you're actually one in the same, at least in insane spirit.
