Many more took off for Canada. Many more just took off. Many more
tried to stay in school as long as they could. Many others just stayed
home. Bush when he was a young man learning how to fly a high
performance aircraft had no idea he'd be where he is today. If he did
have these long range plans he would taken steps as kerry did to get
himself in a combat situation for a couple of months and then get a ear
with some congressman so he could testify and make himself a prominent
antiwar activist, make headlines, which he was successful in doing and
promote himself as a politician with eventually gaining a seat in
congress. All planned out.
Btw, the F-102 was designed as a fighter interceptor. Not very good as
a dogfighter or air support aircraft. We had many other types of
aircraft better suited for those rolls. The F-102 was still considered
a high performance aircraft then.
Btw, there were many young men who tried as best they could to avoid the
draft by getting into the National Guard and reserves. They still
served. Bush could have taken the easy route and got himself a desk
job, but instead he chose to learn how to fly airplanes, no small task.
Better than sneaking off to Canada or go into hiding, staying in school
with the expressed purpose of avoiding being drafted.
Now we are chasing down terrorists. That is the main focus, and Bush
stated that right after 9/11. I am happy to see we finally have a
president who is doing what he says he is going to do. I don't want a
sniviling handwringing, cannot decide president, we've had a couple of
those in the past and they are worthless.
