http://www.nytimes.com/2004/02/01/politics/campaign/01CND-CAMP.html?hp"Mr. Bush was in the Air National Guard in Texas from 1972 to 1973, but he did not appear for duty from May to November 1972, when he was working as the campaign manager for Winton M. Blount, a Republican Senate candidate in Alabama."
But this sentence doesn't make sense:
"A National Guard official and Mr. Bush's spokesmen have said he made up the missed dates, as Guard regulations allow."
A member of the National Guard could simply disappear for several months, during the Vietnam War? I find that remarkable. Wouldn't a majority of National Guard members have taken advantage of this policy for some free vacation?
