So it is your position that they give out an Honorable Dishcharge to a person that is AWOL?
No Toad, I hold the position that if you go AWOL they throw you in Leavenworth. But, if your name is Bush and CIA chief and congressman father has his friends falling all over themselves to do him a favor, than anything is possible. The brass can’t forge a certificate of discharge.. that’s going too far but they can lie and say “I believe he was honorability discharged”.
Glad Monte brought up the George Bush connection. The reason it relates to this thread is to show contrast between the entitled and the un-entitled-- most defiantly a double standard.
This kids mom didn’t have a $200,000 house she could put up for collateral, she didn’t have the $10,000 retainer most lawyers ask for. The sleepy public defender couldn’t defend his way out of a wet paper bag. He was expedient as possible this kid got no justice.
But look at the big picture here, how do we view ourselves as a sociality. Are we civilized? A way to view a civil sociality is how we treat our prisoners. We don’t lock up children in an adult prison for 10 years, we don’t execute mentally retarded prisoners. If we do we lower ourselves to the level of the Taliban or Saudi Arabia.
Back to the Bush question Toad and Kieran: The powers that be.... the one’s who knew Bush had a DUI for months but elected not to tell us until 4 days before the election, claim George Bush was discharged honorably. If that were the case, where is the certificate of discharge?
