to-obama-quit-using-ou-military-the-as-a-photo-op/

On Friday’s “The Five,” co-host Eric Bolling took issue with
President Barack Obama’s Ft. Stewart, Ga. announcement of an
executive order to crack down on institutions that “aggressively
target veterans” for the G.I. Bill’s tuition assistance, saying
that the men and women of the Armed Forces don’t need the
president’s protection from so-called predatory institutions, as
they have faced much worse on the battlefield.

“These heroic men and women do more for freedom, more for
America in a day, than you will ever do, sir,” Bolling said.
“Don’t insult them by talking about schools preying on them.
They take live rounds. They deal with roadside bombs. They risk
their lives, sir. They’ll be OK with Dean Wormer.”

Bolling went on to castigate Obama for what he perceived to be a
campaign speech with soldiers as a backdrop.

“And by the way, how about you stop insulting Americans who see
right through you while you deliver a left-wing campaign speech
while pretending to give a damn about their service?” he
continued. “And one more thing — quit using our military as
photo op — it’s unbecoming of a commander-in-chief.”

What a silly, misplaced rant. These fly by night "schools" lie to
active duty service members and vets looking to develop job skills for
their return to civilian life. They promise them the Moon to get them
to sign up, then take all their VA education benefits, and often
considerable cash out of their pocket. But all they get in return is
usually some on-line or correspondence "courses" or other dubious
instruction in a non-accredited program. Therefore, any credit hours
awarded cannot be recognized by real colleges toward a degree, and any
certifications or diplomas they award are essentially worthless.

The proof of the pudding is in the eating, as the saying goes, and these
programs have a long track record of high "tuition" and very few
students actually employed at whatever job they were supposedly trained
for or going on to earn college degrees. Meanwhile, they pay their
"recruiters" enormous sums and often a bounty on each vet they sign up.
In consequence, there are many cases where wounded, disabled, brain
damaged vets have been enrolled in programs they could not possibly hope
to pursue, because the VA will pay the tuition.

How dare the Obama administration work to help vets who "risked their
lives" serving our country avoid being exploited by these corporate
rip-off artists? Don't they know that these brave young men and women
fought for the RIGHT of those very corporations to take from them
everything they've earned, in return for an empty promise to help them
make better lives for themselves?

Obama doesn't listen to anybody. He's too inftuated with the sound of
his own voice to shutup long enough to listen.

That isn't a "flight jacket," Bob; that is an U.S. Air Force "JACKET,
MAN'S LIGHTWEIGHT, WITH REMOVABLE LINER" (a/k/a windbreaker) straight
from DSCP {Defense Supply Center Philadelphia), which has been custom
embroidered with the Air Force One logo and wearer's name, and is
standard issue for all Air Force One flight and support personnel.

Do you want to buy the souvenir version? Just 45-to-60 bucks:

These Lying Liberals continue to ignore and distort the truth about
the "Mission Accomplished" banner.

It was put up by Capt. Kendall L. Card; the captain of the USS Abraham
Lincoln (CVN 72) to commemorate the Lincoln's deployment "mission"
being "accomplished:" it wasn't for or about George W Bush.

You will note that the banner was still posted as the Lincoln arrived
back in port at San Diego CA; a day after Bush's visit:

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/5/50/USS_Abraham_Lincoln_%28CVN-72%29_Mission_Accomplished.jpg
The USS Abraham Lincoln returning to port carrying its Mission
Accomplished banner, 2 May 2003.

Moreover:

"The carrier returned home in May 2003, in the process receiving a
visit from President George W. Bush before officially ending Lincoln's
deployment by docking at San Diego before returning to homeport in
Everett, WA. Bush stated at the time that this was the end to major
combat operations in Iraq. While this statement did coincide with an
end to the conventional phase of the war, Bush's assertion—and the
sign itself—became controversial after guerrilla warfare in Iraq
increased during the Iraqi insurgency. The vast majority of
casualties, both military and civilian, have occurred since the
speech. The White House said their services constructed the banner. As
explained by Cmdr. Conrad Chun, a Navy spokesman, "The banner was a
Navy idea, the ship's idea. The idea popped up in one of the meetings
aboard the ship preparing for its homecoming and thought it would be
good to have a banner, 'Mission Accomplished.' The sailors then asked
if the White House could get the sign made. ... The banner signified
the successful completion of the ship's deployment," Cmdr. Chun
continued noting that the Abraham Lincoln was deployed 290 days,
longer than any other nuclear-powered aircraft carrier in history."
...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Abraham_Lincoln_(CVN-72)

From the Lincoln's history page:

May 1, U.S. President George W. Bush made his historic landing on the
deck of USS Abraham Lincoln in an S-3B Viking, piloted by Cmdr. John
"Loose" Lussier, VS-35 XO, and Lt. Ryan Phillips. This marked the
first time a sitting President landed on a carrier in a fixed-wing
aircraft.

May 5, USS Abraham Lincoln returned to Everett [WA] after nine-and-a-
half month combat deployment. The ship traveled 102,816 n.m., recorded
12,700 arrested landings and launched 16,500 sorties.

http://www.uscarriers.net/cvn72history.htm

BTW, Scheißekopf:

1) You don't fly or ride in an S-3B Viking during a "COD" ("carrier
onboard delivery") mission (which, BTW, is usually accomplished with a
Grumman C-2 Greyhound instead of the S-3B) without wearing a flight
suit _and_ flight helmet; and,

2) As a former Air Force fighter pilot himself, he was more that
qualified to be wearing the flight suit in the first place.

No, he did not. You didn't actually think that any responsible Naval
officer would have allowed George Bush to touch the controls of an
aircraft in flight, did you?

Oh, come on, I was "flight engineer" on a B-25
with nothing to do except watch for other planes
because there was no radar then except GCA,
the pilot said "do you want to sit here", and went
down in the nose to sightsee, and the
copilot/proficiency "student" said "do you
want to take it", and he laid his head on the
window sill and went to sleep.

I don't think Bush would have landed the
plane, but it is common for even beginners
to have the controls.

Oh, come on yourself. The Navy is typically quite a bit stricter than
the Air Force about such things, and the military today is generally
much more uptight and by-the-book than it was in days gone by. Also,
flying with the CinC is a drastically different proposition than a
routine and boring flight with one's own aircrew. Moreover, the carrier
was very close-in to shore, meaning that the flight would have been very
short and therefore busy hop, with little time left over for that sort
of thing.

GG's unqualified claim that "Bush was actually flying the plane" is
patently absurd on its face. There's no way that happened. If it did,
I'm sure the Bush PR team would have played it up and we would have been
able to read all about it, and you'd be able to find a credible cite to
it. Care to try?

The historian for the National Museum of Naval Aviation, where the plane
Bush "flew" is now residing, is an acquaintance of mine. If I run
across him sometime, I'll try to remember to ask him about it.

Try reading a cite on occasion. Your answer was in the one I already
gave you. Or you could just read the information from it that I quoted
in my post, to make it easier for you. Since the aircraft was taken out
of the ASW role, I suppose the Navy was cutting its S-3 inventory, and
transferred that historically notable example to the museum.

> Is this just more trivia spin to distract from

Since I've posted no "trivia spin," I can't have posted more of it. The
only irrelevancy I've seen is your little story about how you flew a
B-25, as if that had anything to do with establishing whether or not
Bush flew the S-3 out to the USS Lincoln.

Just face it and stop trying to tap dace your way out of it. You're
wrong. We both know it. Otherwise you'd have produced a credible cite
proving the rather remarkable event of Bush flying that plane by now.

Depends on what is meant by flying, if it was an
aircraft with a cabin where people can move around,
why would anybody try to claim he didn't take the
controls for a few minutes.

And comments about wearing a flight suit are
even more silly, parachute harness could soil a
white shirt.

Why should all the snide remarks stand without
questioning them? Jokes are fine, but leftists
have no sense of humor at all.

Sorry about not looking at the link, so it was
the actual plane Bush flew on/in.

A Decade of War - for What? - by Pat Buchanan
               
http://original.antiwar.com/buchanan/2012/05/03/a-decade-of-war-for-what/
 
by Patrick J. Buchanan, May 04, 2012
                                              
"My fellow Americans, we have traveled through more than a decade under
the dark cloud of war," said Barack Obama from Bagram Air Base.
                        
"Here in the predawn darkness, we can see the light of a new day on the
horizon. The Iraq War is over. The number of troops in harm's way has
been cut in half, and more will be coming home. " The time of war began
in Afghanistan, and this is where it will end."
                                 
Interesting comment, that last.
                            
If "the time of war" is at an end, does that rule out U.S. military
action in Syria or war on Iran?        
                              
Setting aside the 14,000-mile round trip to Afghanistan to do an end
zone dance on the anniversary of Seal Team Six's dispatch of Osama bin
Laden, Obama seems to have boxed in his Republican rivals.
                            
His assurance that our wars are ending and our troops are coming home
reflects the national will. And his partnership agreement with President
Hamid Karzai and pledge that a U.S. force will remain to train the
Afghan army and prevent al-Qaeda's return inoculates him against the
charge that he is cutting and running.
Yet The New York Times was disappointed.
                          
Obama had not said how the United States is to train the Afghan army to
defeat the Taliban by 2014, nor how we can get Karzai to deal with the
pervasive corruption and incompetence of his government.
                            
Nor did Obama say how we can be certain al-Qaeda will not return when we
depart.
                          
The Times misses the point.
                            
This speech was not designed to lay out a U.S. strategy for the next 12
years, but to get Barack Obama past the post in November.
                          
And for that objective, the speech works. No one knows what will happen
when 23,000 more U.S. troops come home by Sept. 30, and all combat
troops are out in 2014. The odds are that, after a "decent interval,"
like the one in Vietnam from 1973 to 1975, the Taliban will return to
take vengeance on all who abandoned them, and Afghanistan will come
again to resemble the land we invaded a decade ago.
                                   
Why is this probable?
                           
First, because the Taliban have shown themselves to be, though fewer in
number, a superior fighting force to the Afghan army. They have not
needed foreigners to motivate, train, advise or lead them.
                             
Nor have they needed foreign money to fight. Yet they have battled the
best army in the world for a decade and repeatedly sacrificed their
lives in suicide attacks.
                           
How many Afghans on our side have launched suicide attacks?
                             
Second, the Taliban are rooted in the Pashtun, the largest tribal group
in Afghanistan, which constitutes half the population and is
concentrated in the crucial south and east.
                        
Third, they have a secure sanctuary in Pakistan.
                           
Fourth, because, as we saw with the hysterical reaction to what U.S.
troops thought was the routine burning of desecrated Qurans, Islam is
the most powerful cultural and social force in the country. And the
Taliban are the most deeply rooted in that faith.
                               
Fifth, because nationalism is the most potent political current roiling
nations from the Maghreb to Middle East to South Asia. And the Taliban
have the causalities and credentials to prove they will fight forever to
free their country of foreign influence.
A majority of Afghans surely wish the Taliban would not return, given
the savagery of their previous rule and the desire of the Afghan people
to be free to live their own lives according to their own interpretation
of their faith.
                            
Yet the Taliban have shown themselves willing to persist against huge
odds, to fight and die in considerable numbers for the kind of country
they wish to live in - and the kind of regime they wish to live under.
       
                            
Our allies have not remotely matched their zeal.  
                              
"A small body of determined spirits fired by an unquenchable faith in
their mission can alter the course of history," said Mohandas Gandhi.
So, after a decade of war in Afghanistan, what have we accomplished, and
at what cost? Some 2,000 U.S. dead, 16,000 wounded, hundreds of billions
sunk, scores of thousands of Afghan dead. Al-Qaeda was driven out a
decade ago but is now in Pakistan, Yemen, Somalia, North Africa and
Iraq.
                                
The Taliban are gone from Kabul but may be coming back. And our hope of
preserving what success we have had rests with Hamid Karzai.
                        
"America has no designs beyond an end to al-Qaeda safe havens," said
Obama in Bagram. "Our goal is not to build a country in America's image,
or to eradicate every vestige of the Taliban." But if those are our
goals, had we not achieved them all by early 2002? What, then, were we
fighting for - these 10 years?
                               
If we had to do it all over again, would we?
                         
The nation now seems not to think so. And the nation is right.

Oh, I suppose the aircraft commander may have let Bush put his hands on
the the dual controls for a few idle moments of straight and level
flight, while maintaining primary control himself. But that's about as
close to Bush "flying the plane" as my holding a retractor or something
for a physician in an emergency or field operation is to me "performing
surgery." It's a stretch so ridiculous as to constitute a lie.

The original excuse was that the carrier was "out of range" of the
Marine One helicopter, so Bush "had" to fly out on the S-3. But that
was a lie. It turned out that the USS Lincoln was only about 30nm
offshore, and they even needed to turn the ship about so that the
buildings and shoreline of Southern California wouldn't be clearly
visible on-camera behind Bush.

All this was done, apparently, just so Bush could have his photo-op
mincing about on the carrier deck in his flight suit, possibly with the
theme music from the movie "Top Gun" playing in his head, and to
manufacture some macho imagery for Bush's upcoming re-election campaign.
It was all, however, carefully staged, utterly unnecessary, and
completely phoney-baloney.

Moreover, it delayed all those sailors and Marines from getting home
from their very lengthy deployment just that much longer. I know
exactly what that felt like. I have personally been similarly
significantly hampered in my work by the Bush staffers arranging a
photo-op for him. What they did was pull several large trucks that were
already on-site and delivering needed aid, supplies and equipment to
Hurricane Katrina victims, back to a staging area while still mostly
loaded and leaving us for several hours without the stuff we needed
right then, so they could form a photo/video backdrop for Bush, to show
that he was rushing federal aid to the scene. Of course, they did that
by removing federal aid from the scene, which was more than a bit galling.

Exactly. I question rightard's snide remarks here all the time, along
with their intentional distortions and outright lies, of course.

Maybe right-wing lies and stupidity just aren't all that funny? Many

I see Lefties laughing at them all the time.

Let's remember that Bush wasn't a qualified pilot, in fact, the Air

Any responsible aircraft commander, not that you could stand up or trade
seats in an S-3 Viking. It may be Bush's military to command, but that
S-3 was most definitely that aircraft commander's.

One of Bush's strong suits is that he seems like a "regular guy," the
sort who'd be good to have as neighbor or drink a beer with. Any
regular guy I know would jump at the chance to experience a carrier
landing. I darn sure would.

There is a big difference between experiencing a landing on a carrier and
actually landing one.

BTW, when was Bush disqualified from flying F-102s? It is not an easy AC
to fly but last I heard he had qualified to do so.

When he disobeyed an order to take a flight physical from an AF
physician, the first one he faced to potentially include the then-new
drug tests. He was automatically DQed from flight status, but, for
whatever reason, never faced a hearing board that being DQed should have
mandated, nor any on-record disciplinary action for disobeying an order.
But things were different then.

The only account of his actual flying ability I've read is a somewhat
dubious account of a supposed flight in a Cessna. Here's a sample of
the stories:

"Bush really flying in a Cessna 172 in 1976:

NOT LONG AFTER Reisner's delicate trip to Midland[summer 1976], Bush
banged on the door of Susie and Don Evans on an otherwise placid Sunday
afternoon and suggested to Don that they head out to the airport and
spend a few bucks for a spin over the desiccated Permian Basin in a
single-engine Cessna. Susie Evans, who had gone to elementary school
with Bush, was a longtime Midland presence, and when she had been dating
her future husband in Houston, she had frequently stayed at the Bush
house. She had moved back to Midland, and after she had heard that Bush
was back in town, she and her husband had frequently invited him over.

Her husband Don Evans... Willard... was a short, fastidious,
narrow-faced oilman in his early thirties who was poised to assume
control of the Tom Brown Company, one of the legendary older names in
the West Texas patch. Bush had begun spending more time at the Evanses'
apartment in the Windsor Courts, drinking cocktails with them and
leaving his laundry for Susie to do. Bush liked Evans's politics, he
liked that they were about the same age and that both of them had recent
MBAs. He liked the fact that Evans's old man had landed on the beach at
Normandy during World War II.

Evans said he'd love to go flying. At the airport he watched Bush stare
at the controls, at the panel, and he realized that Bush-though not
admitting it-had no idea how to fly the thing properly. After finally
figuring out how to launch the plane, Bush pushed the Cessna hard down
the runway. Evans screamed, "Give it some gas!" The Cessna's warning
system was blinking and crackling. Bush tried to lift his craft fast,
almost as if he were piloting a jet back in the Texas Air National
Guard. The plane wobbled into the air, and the unsubtle maneuvering
threatened to shove it into a stall. Now the rented plane was rattling
in the sky over Midland

The endless petrochemical complexes, all the aluminum and steel and
smoke stacks that pockmark the Permian Basin, were spiking up just below
the aircraft. Bush nervously turned to Evans, put his hand on his knee
and blurted in his self-mocking West Texas way, "Okay, Evvie, I’ve got
it under control."

After more seemingly endless moments, he somehow got control of the
plane again. He aimed the aircraft down, and the landing was as shaky
and brutal as the takeoff. The plane careened off the runway and onto
the desert. Evans sighed in relief. Then an unbelieving Evans braced
himself as Bush suddenly and unexpectedly spun the plane and bounced
back along the runway. Evans stared at Bush. He could see the fear and
panic flooding his face. Bush pressed on. Evans had no idea why Bush
wanted to go again. The plane wobbled uncertainly back into the West
Texas skies, and Bush turned to Evans. "Hey," said Bush airily, as if he
had just had an original, amusing idea, "let's fly around Midland."

The men began cracking up. Bush brought the Cessna back to the airport.
It was the last time he flew a plane. Evans would be one of the three
people at Bush's side in almost every public venture for the
twenty-three years.

Minutaglio pg 175&176

Here is another version:


Donnie Evans remembered a similar story involving an airplane. He told
David Maraniss that less than a year after George W. first got back to
Midland he came over to Donnie's house and told him he wanted to take a
single-engine Cessna for a little joyride. They drove over to the
airfield and got in the plane. Then George W. realized he didn't have a
clue how to fly a Cessna.

"The guy didn't even know how to start the thing," Evans reportedly
said. "That was a bad omen. Finally we get it started and roll down the
runway, and he tries to take it straight up like a jet! We go into a
stall, buzzers are going off. I say, 'Give it some gas!' We finally get
it airborne, and he decides he better turn around and go back. I can
tell he's nervous, but he says, 'Okay, Evvie, got it under control.' We
come down and he lands half on the runway and half on the grass. And
then he pats my leg and says don't worry, and he takes it up again. This
time he's so scared he says, 'Hey, let's fly around Midland.' He had to
get his confidence up. Somehow we got back safely. He's never flown again."

And that isn't a lack of flying ability or a disqualification in type.

IOW, he wasn't checked out in type. Must be why the FAA has all those
pilot certifications. It certainly isn't like owning a Ford and just
jumping into the driver's seat of your buddy's Chevy.
This particular site also reports Bush as flying the F-102 and having it
on his records. It appears that johnco didn't want to take a stand in
either direction.

No, and I never said it was. He was disqualified by the Air Force from
flying altogether.
No it's not. But if he wasn't checked out, certified or otherwise
qualified to fly that aircraft, he had no business taking it up. It
would have been dangerous to do so, and Bush would have shown very poor
judgment in doing so. Having bad judgment about flying is certainly not
considered a desirable trait in an aviator.
I think we all knew that Bush was once a pilot in the so-called
"Champagne Brigade" stateside during the Vietnam War. It's just that so
many of his service records from the TX ANG went missing by the time
Bush was Governor of Texas, and later, President.

Agreed....but, AFAIK, the discussion wasn't about his skill level but
whether or not he was qualified to fly an F-102. It is a difficult plane
to fly because it is underpowered for its intent. The F-106, its follow-
on isn't underpowered and is a real hotrod.

Whatever......that happened to some others, too. I am not defending
Bush, I was simply asking about his disqualification from flying and that
it had nothing to do with his ability (or lack of it) to fly the plane.

Bush flew in flight school only. When his unit was going to be
rotated to Vietnam he went AWOL. All his records of him reporting to
his Guard unit conveniently have disappeared.

You better check that. His unit was NEVER scheduled to rotate to Viet
Nam. The jet he was qualified to use wasn't used in Nam anymore. It
was obsolete.

I dunno. The whole story sounds kinda sketchy to me. I don't put too
much credence in it. But it's odd I haven't seen any accounts of his
flying ability, or even of him flying at all, from any instructor pilots
or squadron mates, commanding officers, ground crew, etc. We know he
made it through all the necessary instruction to get into F-102s, which
means he must have had many flight hours with a variety of people at
different bases to witness it, but nobody seems to recall seeing him in
the air. It seems quite unusual.

IIRC, The discussion was about a false claim that Bush flew the S-3
Viking out to the USS Lexington.

someone posted "You mean he fly(sic) in, landed on a
carrier, and strutted around in a flight suit with a MISSION
ACCOMPLISHED banner flying in the breeze? Damn, I missed that."

Then Grey Ghost replied in his usual calm and mature manner: "Of course
you did asshole. Bush was actually flying the plane." Then I set the
facts straight with a quote from the NMNA that made clear Bush was only
a passenger, and we were off, with much discussion of this rather
insignificant and easily independently confirmed or denied point to follow.

Lots of service records, or things that should have been included in
them, have gone missing. A lot of human error must have occurred over
the decades. There have also been fires at records depositories, and
other disasters. The 1973 fire in St. Louis alone destroyed about 18
million service records.

Of course, there have been many reported instances of willful omission
or even "grooming" to remove derogatory information or falsify or add
laudatory material, whether by sympathetic commanders, service buddies,
patrons wanting to protect their proteges, or through political
influence or corruption. There were allegations Bush's records were
groomed about the time he became TX Governor, and again when he was
running for President. I don't think it's ever been proved, but it
wouldn't surprise me, and could have easily happened without Bush's
knowledge, by "friends" thinking they were helping him.

He may have handled the controls while in flight, but he certainly didn't
take it off or land it on the carrier.

It was quite underpowered for its mission when it was new. It did see

Yep.....records are gone for those who were discharged between 9/25/47

That's the point, one thing we can prove is that Bush did, in fact,
complete all the training in various aircraft necessary to fly F-102s.
But nobody published any anecdotes about flying with the future
President? Odd indeed.

Yeah, I don't think he was maneuvering the aircraft, either, and
certainly not doing any takeoffs or traps.

Maybe no one wants to admit having him for a wingman. I bet he was good
in the O Club, though.

Sorry, but you're wrong again. Just about everybody already knows that
though, if not from the generally idiotic and wrongheaded run of your
posts, then from the many times this has been rehashed in this
newsgroup, with the scant available facts repeatedly verified.

If by "liberal narrative" you meant "factually correct narrative" then
you'd be right for once. It certainly beats your "narrative," which was
nothing more than the naive belief of a simpleton that since Bush was
was prancing around in a flight suit, he must have been flying the plane.

Normally, like most people do, I just ignore your silly, lame-brained
posts or let them slide past as the pathetic rantings of an angry,
bitter and confused old man consumed by hate and lost in life-long
ignorance. But your silly claim that Bush was flying the plane that
delivered him to the carrier was just so laughably stupid that I had to
comment and set the facts straight.

You know, it's one thing to be just plain ol' ignorant and sadly
misinformed about most things, but it's quite another to actively reject
ever learning anything. Worse, your inability or failure to use the
vast resources available on the internet to inform yourself at least a
little about even the basics of a topic before you begin spouting off
about it is completely inexcusable and a mark of your mental laziness.

Well, regardless of how smart I may or may not be, I've repeatedly
demonstrated that I'm much smarter, more knowledgeable and better
informed than you are, not that it's much of an accomplishment.

Sorry, that just suspends his flight status that does NOT remove his flight
qualifications.

Sorry, but it amounts to the same thing. After that point, Bush was no

I was taken off flight pay and status because
I intentionally neglected to take the monthly or
quarterly written test the Air Force started after
finding out they would be a separate branch
service (late spring 1947).

I was then shipped from the B-25 flight
line in Mississippi to Randolph Field to work
on an AT-6 flight line, first on student aircraft
and then a new instructor pilot training flight
line.

Sometimes people resent these types of
things, I was uncomfortable with the fact
that because of the written test the tech sarge
crew chief that had been with the airplane the
entire time during the war in Europe lost his job
and became just a flunky mechanic in the crew.

I know he wasn't. He wasn't qualified to fly that particular jet and
he wasn't qualified to land on aircraft carriers.
