Since your job was mopping floors, I believe you. But if your job is
flying a jet, it is vital that you keep your training current. Bush
lied (again) when he said that if his unit had been sent to Viet Nam,
he would have gone. He wouldn't have qualified. He lost his flying
status through his repeated absences from training and physicals,
after the taxpayers paid about $2 million to train him.
