Military Component of Trump Coup Attempt

[26 Inf]

Yeah, I see your point. I will stipulate it's case-by-case. There are some shitty servicemen who do shitty things to get out of work. Bush, though, I would have felt different if he was a maintenance officer for the rec & welfare unit; the fact that he got into flight school, passed flight school did well enough to earn fighters, and was assigned to a pretty good aircraft demonstrates he wasn't flying under the radar (no pun intended).

You guys are forgetting the part where he stopped going to drills. I served with a couple of Marines who missed ONE drill and were sent to active duty.

I think DJT shouldn’t throw rocks unless he is willing to take some coming back. Private or public, not that there is much difference when you’re POTUS, dont matter.

Thanks, and I agree.

Proved to be fake news. If all you are going to believe is leftest propaganda about Bush and Trump then you are part of the problem.

LOL. Not doubting you, at all, just had...a different experience. Even when I was attached to MARFORRES recon, there were 0321s who decided they had enough and were just admin sep'd or placed into IRR, eventually separated. But never sent to AD. After 9/11 that changed some because every swinging dick wanted to shoot bad guys in the face; but even then, some decided enough was enough and faded into the sunset.

I'm not talking about the GWOT era, I'm talking about the VN era, when President Bush was in the Air Guard. Served with two Marines who had been sent to active duty, I took one of their billets when he finished his active duty requirement - two years.

Uhm huh.

After April 1972, Bush may have failed to meet the attendance requirements established for members of the Air National Guard. In mid-1972, he failed to meet the Air Force requirement for an annual physical examination for pilots and lost his authorization to be a pilot. According to Bush's pay records, he did not attend any drills between mid-April and the end of October 1972. He drilled in Alabama in October and November 1972, and again in January 1973; what duties he performed are unknown. Bush returned to his home unit in Houston and was paid for his service in April 1973 through July 1973; again, what duties he performed are not documented in any way.

On October 1, 1973, Bush was honorably discharged from the Texas Air National Guard and transferred to the Air Force Reserve's inactive reserves in Denver, Colorado. He was discharged from the Air Force Reserve on November 21, 1974, ending his military service.

If Bush hadn't had familial connections he wouldn't have been given this treatment.

As I said, he grew as a person later in life. Something President Trump has not evidenced.

Oh, why didn’t you say that you had text in italics, that totally changes everything. Must be true then.

Here is the fallacy of unfounded left wing smears against Bush and now Trump .They want us to totally believe their lies but with the entire deep state, intel community, fed le, demorats, and media all working to find or manufacture evidence about nefarious dealings of Republican Presidents they come up empty. Yet those like 26 Inf persist in believing the worst cause.......feelzzz. Trump is the most investigated man in history and after 3 years all they can come up with is not even fresh but recycled lies to try and take him down. Every day they push this nonsense they reveal themselves for what they are, wannabe tyrants who want us powerless or dead. News flash, many Trump backers don't even like the man that much, but we realize the stakes of what is happening, this is a battle for whats left of the Republic pure and simple. We know the evil of this socialist/commie crap being pushed on us by the left and their legion of brainwashed minions and useful idiots and do not want to see the country we remember and love be destroyed from within. So sides are being picked you are either for America or against it, and if you are for it you need to support Trump because like him or not he is the one fighting the deep state and if we lose America as we know it is lost.

Nice wikipedia pull.

The whole Bush thing has been beaten to death (https://www.factcheck.org/2004/02/ne...ervice-mostly/). I think it's time we can steer this back to Trump/McRaven.
