..."What he volunteered for at one point was "Palace Guard," an overseas program that would have entailed serving in Thailand. Not Turkey, but equally out of range of Viet Cong weaponry..."
...well, while I'd rather drink my own bathwater than support any aspect of Gee Dub's life or (p)residency, this statement is actually factually incorrect. The U.S. Air Force operated out of seven bases in Thailand flying combat and support missions in both North and South Vietnam. ANG pilots in the Palace Alert program flying F-102's out of the Thai bases flew combat missions. If there's a cynical aspect to his "request", it is that, had he been a good boy and stuck with his flying responsibilities with the 147th Fighter Group (TANG), he might have been able to finally log the minimum required flight hours to qualify for Palace Alert a couple of years after the program was canceled...
...or did I mean "fazed"? Lordy, this "Hooked on Phonics" is treacherous stuff...
...so I gather Simon won't be phased by Teresa's 1 Corinthians 13 reference....
