Here you go, from the Boston Globe: One-year gap in Bush's National Guard duty. There was a thread about this a couple of weeks ago.Originally posted by: Ultra Quiet
carbonyl - if you have proof of any of that I'd love to see it. Especially the AWOL part. Never charged and honorably discharged from service he could have gone to grad school to avoid.
I'm not interested in getting into a p*ssing match about this, it is what it is. I found the article well-researched and well-balanced. No, Bush was never formally charged with being AWOL. Yes, Bush did miss a year of service, however, making him AWOL in effect. Bush also apparently tried to make up some of the missed time. If I remember the article correctly, this wasn't confirmed with certainty.
