Here's what those incriminating National Guard records have to say about the lying, cheating, coasting, drug-abusing AWOL/MIA/REMF/KP (or some damn military acronym) Lt. Bush:
In November 1970, the commander of the Texas Air National Guard, Lt. Col. Jerry B. Killian, called Mr. Bush, then 24, "a dynamic outstanding young officer" who stood out as "a top-notch fighter interceptor pilot" mature beyond his age.
"Lt. Bush's skills far exceed his contemporaries," Colonel Killian wrote in recommending that Mr. Bush be promoted to first lieutenant. "He is a natural leader whom his contemporaries look to for leadership. Lt. Bush is also a good follower with outstanding disciplinary traits and an impeccable military bearing."
A little free advice to Garry Trudeau and company: Start a new storyline. This one ain't going anywhere.
Unless you want to try making a scandal out of his hemorrhoids. That oughtta be good for a belly-laugh.
