Was George H W Bush in the army?
George was a Naval Aviator. He has two stories of cotroversy surrounding his name. In one instance, he was on a bombing training flight, when he 'lost' his engine. Instead of 'pickling' his ordnance (bombs), he ditched the aircraft, with the bombs still attached. That shortened his glide distance & time aloft. The suggestion being panic. Later, he was reportedly shot down in the Pacific, bailing out. The submarine "Finback" picked him up. Allegedly, his only official account was made by the Captain of the Finback, who wrote that Bush said his crew bailed out over the island of Chichijima - OR - after he was 'hit.' He didn't know where his crew was? that's nuts. Why would any aircraft commander bail out, not knowing where his crew was. No reason was given as to why they would have had an excuse to bail out over Chichijima.

What do you do in the National Guard?
The National Guard is the first military establishment in the history of the United States. If is wasn't for the creation of the National Guard, the U.S. military today would be totally different. The National Guard is under the command of federal and state orders, something like hurricane katrina, and the civil rights movement. However, the National Guard is doing A LOT in Iraq currently. 70% of the forces in Iraq are National Guard soliders. You can join the National Guard as soon as your JR. year of high school. Basic Training is with active, and reserve recruits and AIT is anywhere from 4 weeks to 2 years long. You also have the choice to go active in the National Guard, but other than that you train one weekend a month, and two full weeks in the summer. The benefits are amazing, also. Depending on your MOS, you are eligable to receive a $20,000 bonus just for enlisting. You also get most, if not all your college tuition paid for, as well as the G.I. Bill and the G.I. bill kicker, which is I believe $807 together just for extra money while you are in college. You also get paid for your monthly training, and all you basic and mos training. The best branch there is HOOAH.

What challenges did George w bush face on the domestic front that led to the widespread criticism?
Both Bushes, father and son, were criticized on several domestic issues.
- The major one concerned fiscal policies: Bush sr. created tax cuts but could not curb spending and finally had to renege on his promise "No new taxes". Junior created a tax cut of 1.3 trillion dollars and later added a second round of tax cuts that reduced Federal income by over 4 trillion dollars. Both Bushes however neglected to adjust Government spending to this reduced level and even let expenses skyrocket with the cost of invasion and war in two countries. The result was an enormous budget deficit
- Bush sr. was saddled with the Savings and Loans collapse, although his predecessor Reagan had been responsible for the policies causing the collapse. His support package for the savings and loans industry cost the taxpayers billions of dollars and contributed to the growth of the budget deficit
- Generally speaking, Bush's heart was not really in domestic policy and as a former career diplomat he felt much more at home dealing with international issues and foreign leaders. The few major domestic issues he did tackle estranged him from his conservative constituents who moreover felt that he did not enough on the subject of economic recovery.
