Guess what? More documents on Bush’s Guard Service released by the Pentagon just now! This despite previously claims by the White House (several times) that they’ve released everything on the matter.
Also note this release comes late Friday (when they release info they wish to bury from the mainstream media) and a few days after White House Spokesman, Scott McClellan had hinted that more could be coming. I guess he already knew.
…
“That a major general in the Air Force would take interest in a brand new Air Force trainee made a big impression on me,” then Texas Rep. George Bush wrote to Maj. Gen. G.B. Greene Jr., commander of the Lackland Air Force Base Military Training Center, on Sept. 11, 1968.
…
I was surprised and very, very pleased to receive your letter of August 27th,” Bush’s father said in the letter, which was written on congressional stationery. The file does not contain Greene’s letter to Bush’s father, but shows the letter his father wrote back.
…
“General Greene, this is a personal letter but I did want to write to you from the heart and thank you for what you, Sgt. (Henry) Onacki and the others are doing, and obviously doing well,” Bush concluded.

UPDATE: .PDF of letter from George HW Bush here. .PDF of Press Release about young Bush and the fact that he is son of U.S. Congressman here. (Most ironic line from the release: “George Bush is one member of the younger generation who doesn’t get his kicks from pot or hashish or speed. Oh, he gets high, all right, but not from narcotics.”)

I get no kick from champagne
Mere alcohol doesn’t thrill me at all
So tell me why should it be true
That I get a kick out of you
Some get their kicks from cocaine
I’m sure that if I took even one sniff
That would bore me terrifically too
That I get a kick out of you
I get a kick every time I see you standing there before me
I get a kick though it’s clear to me that you obviously do not adore me
I get no kick in a plane
Flying too high with some gal in the sky
Is my idea of nothing to do
But I get a kick out of you
I get no kick from champagne
Mere alcohol doesn’t thrill me at all
So tell me why should it be true
That I get a kick out of you
Some get their kicks from cocaine
I’m sure that if I took even one sniff
That would bore me terrifically too
That I get a kick out of you
I get a kick every time I see you standing there before me
I get a kick though it’s clear to me that you obviously do not adore me
I get no kick in a plane
Flying too high with some gal in the sky
Is my idea of nothing to do
But I get a kick
She gives me a boot
I get a kick out of you
Great movie!
