The presidency is Bush's to loose.
-The Real Military Record of George W. Bush: Not Heroic, but Not AWOL, Either-The Original Story--
Go to "last" & go backwards for full Debunk.
For Bush to be “AWOL” or “Away Without Leave” he had to have been assigned to a unit and under its command. If Bush was not under Turnipseed’s command whatever he might have said to Robinson has no more authority than the opinions of any other Alabama National Guardsman that might have served with Bush at the time.
That's "absent without leave" for the rest of us... LOL
Who gives a rat's arse about what happened or did not happen 30 years ago? We can't change the outcome. What good will bringing up old wounds do other than to remind us of the terrible upheaval our country went through. We didn't have a strong leader in the White House. We didn't have the will to fight to win. Our brave and courageous soldiers bleed, lost limbs, lost their youth and died in Viet Nam, for what?
The damn Viet Nam war was a disgrace because of the democrats, the mainstream press and the left. They shunned and spit on our brave young soldiers who were sent to risk their lives for a war that none of our soft palmed and pampered senators wanted anything to do with.
I despise that period of time. I despise the scum filth hippies and their anti-war demonstrations. They never gave us the support to win, to be victorious.
The left sided with the commies and I'm thinking they still do, just look and hear how they bemoan an evil sadistic dictator's downfall and cry about how mean Bush is to the terrorists.
What is even more hyper-hypocritical of the democrats and the press is that they all got on their knee-pads and supported the draft-dodging loather of the military, Bill Clinton, who wrote that he thought he was too good to fight for the United States of America.
Viet Nam is over. Gonzo. Finni. al Qaeda is now. President Bush is a very determined, resolved, steadfast leader who has the will to see us to Victory!!!, not despair.
Selected excerpts:
For all their pretended confusion about the issue, both Kerry and Clark know from their own experience that no officer who had not met the requirements of his six year service obligation to the satisfaction of his unit commander would have been granted an honorable discharge....there was already an exhaustive look at Bush’s National Guard records published and available on the Internet to any reporter who has written on this in the last week from Katharine Seelye at The New York Times to Richard Cohen at The Washington Post… neither of whom seem to have looked it up.. It’s title? “The Real Military Record of George W. Bush: Not Heroic, But Not AWOL, Either.”
It was “the first full chronology… . Its basic conclusions… he did accumulate the days of service required of him for his ultimate honorable discharge.”
The article included the evidence of the pasteup pay records just released by the White House. It also included the material in the “two new documents obtained by the Globe” by Robinson from left wing activist Bob Fertig.
It was published four long years ago---just a few weeks before the 2000 Presidential election in George Magazine. Its publisher was that well-known GOP supporter-- the late John F. Kennedy, Jr.
Bookmarked ! Thanks ...
