Commanders Admit "Sugar Coating" Bush's 1972 USAF Suspension
This one goes out to all the Swift Boaters out there.
Official records unearthed over 30 years later discuss how Bush was dishonarably grounded for failing to meet Air Force standards and failing his physical exam. (Some have speculated he missed the physical on purpose to avoid drug-testing.) The papers also request someone qualified be placed in Bush's spot, a coveted place which most candidates are wait-listed, though, through family influence, it is believed, Bush passed over. One of the officials also felt pressure from his colleagues to give Bush a more favorable rating which he felt "interfered" with his performing his job.
