Reply #16: Did you READ that story? What else do "we" need? [View All]

One is an April 23, 1973 order for Bush to report to annual active duty training the following month; the other is an Air National Guard statement of days served by Bush that is torn and undated but contains entries that correspond to the first. Taken together, they appear to establish that Bush reported for duty on nine occasions between November 29, 1972-when he could have been in Alabama-and May 24, 1973. The "torn" document referred to here has since turned up UNtorn and the dates assumed here don't jive with the "torn" version.

The difference between AWOL and DESERTION is "intent to return". I just noticed on my read through of this article that;
Bush spokesperson Dan Bartlett told Georgemag.com: "You take that exam because you are flying, and he was not flying. The paperwork uses the phrase 'suspended from flying,' but had no intention of flying at that time."

So if he was trained as a pilot and had no intention of flying at that time, it is pretty straightforward then that he had no intention of returning to TANG, as he would have had to taken the physical and continued flying, unless of course 1Lt's get to choose when/what they do and not their CO's(which actually appears to be the case, at least for bush*)

And just fo rthe record it's MORANS!
