thedailytimes.com - Man who swore Bush into Air Guard speaks out: "Bush and the others were flying several flights day or night over the Gulf of Mexico to identify the unknown,'' he said. 'The Cold War was a nervous time. You never knew. There were other things going on equally important to the country, and the Air National Guard had a primary role in it.''

"Morrisey said the commander he worked for at the unit in Texas was sent there to rebuild the image of the unit. There were only two to four pilot training slots given to them per year, he said. Individuals questioned by an evaluation board and then chosen by the commander had to be the best.

" 'Bush was selected and he turned out just fine,'' he said."
