Quoth "-=jd=-" in
:
Since the unit award/citation is awarded to the unit and
not the individual, I'd be willing to bet good money that
Bush didn't forge any documents or write himself up for
that particular ribbon.
Of course, neither did Lt. Kerry, no matter what the Smear
Vets and those who cling to their fairy tales might pretend.
But it seems clear that Lt. Bush wore this ribbon without any
justification, forged or otherwise.
From the cited article:
The Air Force Historical Research Service Organization
confirmed that the 147th Fighter Intercept Group and the
111th Fighter Intercept Squadron received an Air Force
Outstanding Unit Award for the time period of 1965-1966,
two years before Bush joined the service.
[The Air For]ce also said both units received the
Outstanding Unit Award in 1975. Bush was discharged from
his Texas Guard unit on Oct. 1, 1973.
Between these dates, the Air Force said Wednesday, there
are "no additional awards."
