i guess you missed it froggy , bush's senior officer in alabama was on TV, he said bush checked in on time and the paper work was turned in, he also said bush was a F102 pilot and alabama was flying F4's and because bush was on temp duty with them it made no sense to retrain bush in F4's.
He also said bush showed up on assigned weekends and worked in the office as required.


doonsbury is and always has been a tool of the far left.


when can i expect my $10,000?

his c.o. said

"I can remember little of that episode now"

and hes the only human being alive who can. occams knife calls bull****. bush is a deserter and probly because he was a cocain addict. (first ever exam for cocain was introduced the same time he missed his phisical go figgure.)

p.s. there is no statute of limitations on desertion, desertion ws 30 days of awol at the time.he should be in levenworth funny to think that is probly the least of the crimes hes commited.

"in Texas, a 26-year-old named George Bush, a lieutenant in the National Guard, reported for drill duty as usual at Ellington air force base. Apparently, however, Lt Bush's superiors at Ellington didn't see it that way. In an annual evaluation of his performance - dated, coincidentally, the very same day, May 2 - they conceded that they couldn't actually evaluate his performance, because they hadn't seen him for months"



"He did not use political influence. He did all the things required," insists Walter Staudt, a retired National Guard colonel who was Bush's commanding officer. The two men first met during the Christmas holiday of 1967, during Bush's senior year at Yale. A few months later, the young graduate applied for pilot training. "I interviewed all the kids, and if I thought they had promise, sent them through the chain," Staudt says. He retired soon after Bush's induction, and says that he can remember little of that episode now. But contemporaries from the National Guard remember being extremely conscious of the benefits that could accrue to the service from having the son of a congressman in its ranks - especially at a time when there was talk of closing the Ellington base."

Dont understand why you guys are getting your pantys in a twist. He is just looking for someone to give a story or 2 about bush being there.  Hell out of all those gaurdsmen that were stationed there not one will come forward to offer proof that he was there?

And john, that wasnt his senior officer. It was a guy that said he saw him there in the summer, when bush wasnt even supposed to be there till fall. Plus he said he saw them on far more days then bush was paid to be there. Its a highly suspect story. Out of 800 gaurdsmen they cannot find more then 1 guy who gave a bunch of false info? Yet they find plenty who never saw the man.

Actually, you either haven't familiarized yourself with Bush's timeline for his NG service, or you didn't read the article you linked.

Either way, they were pretty specific about the times you would have had to have served there with Bush, and coincidently those times coincide with when Bush said he wasn't drilling, but was working on the campaign.

It's just more uninformed liberal whining.

I may be mistaken but if "proof" is given the recepient does not get $10,000.  The money goes as a donation to the USO under his/her name.

This is rediculous, the dems act as if he never served any real time, what the air force res.  hand him the keys to fiter jets and say learn for yourself at your liesure. I believe flight school alone  is 53 weeks. I saw the interview with the Colonel that came foward for Bush and the funniest part was when he said half the Dallas cowboys were in the same wing as Bush.

Go Bush, protect our country, cause if I no longer breathe the economy means nothing to me.:aok

They trashed Reagans trickle down plan, but it worked, unfortuantly it was Clinton that reaped the reward for it.
I believe Bush's plan will work down the road as well.
and no I'm not rich.

Personally, if I had been a member of the Alabama guard thirty years ago, I am pretty sure I wouldn't remember some guy who was there on the weekend once a month on temporary duty.  I am pretty sure most of the guard didn't take attendance or bother with some temp duty guy.
