Bush Pilots
We keep hearing a lot about George W. Bush and is national guard service. Some argue that since George W. Bush received an honorable discharge the issue of him fulfilling his service is STUPID. These people are, of course, incorrect.
Media Matters For America [MMFA](which as far as we can tell is non-partisan, but according to Bill O'Reilly is like, pure evil, and also left-leaning) had this fact to point out:
CNN host Wolf Blitzer joined his colleague Judy Woodruff in once again falling for the irrelevant Bush-Cheney '04 campaign spin that George W. Bush's honorable discharge means he fulfilled his duties. During an interview with Democratic strategist Howard Wolfson, Blitzer repeatedly interrupted Wolfson to diminish Bush's documented failure to perform his duty and to advance the long-discredited canard that his honorable discharge proves something.
In fact, as MMFA has noted, many people have received honorable discharges despite dishonorable service, including Washington, DC-area sniper John Allen Muhammad, who was charged with striking an officer, stealing a tape measure, and going AWOL, then sentenced to seven days in the brig -- and still received an honorable discharge from the Louisiana National Guard.
