George W. Bush: Vietnam "Inconvenient"
WP: Bush's Exit Letter To Guard Released0 comments
MIAMI, Sept. 29 -- President Bush, accused by Democrats of shirking his duty in the Texas Air National Guard during the Vietnam War, wrote that he had "inadequate time" to meet future reserve commitments in his November 1974 letter of resignation, which was released Wednesday.
(...)
In the one-page "Tender of Resignation," Bush hand-wrote the following reason for resigning: "Inadequate time to fullfill possible future commitments."
"I'm the future president, Divine 43, so let those other guys get shot at. They're not doing anything."
As Carly Simon sang, "I haven't got time for the pain."
