Bush's military records are removed from St. Louis storage center!!

[tableturner]

Overland (KMOV) – "There is a St. Louis connection to the controversy surrounding President George Bush’s National Guard records.

"For more than three decades those records have been locked away at the Federal Military Records Center in Overland. The center director tells News 4 that the records were removed from a vault at that facility just a few days ago and sent to the National Guard headquarters at the Pentagon in Washington."

Come on, Coverup! Be true to your rep!

(Wonder if they dotted the i's and crossed the t's respecting the laws and regs that cover access to military records? Did Shrub waiver?)

4. look! look!

"Those files may contain rosters and sign in sheets indicating his service. President Bush told NBC he would authorize the release of some documents to show he did serve in Alabama."


WOW! Sign in sheets!

6. He also told NBC he had released these records in 2000

:shrug: does anyone still believe anything the man says?

5. Check out this thread from Saturday

Someone posted about looking for the files in St. Louis Saturday.

Someone posted in that thread that maybe we shouldn't be posting that type of info on DU where White House people lurk. Interesting how the files were removed a "few days ago". The timeline matches perfectly.

7. Somebody Posted in LBN a Couple of Days Ago - "DISCIPLINARY UNIT"

Sure wish a DUer plugged in with a media biggie would mainstream this:

You know the mysterious torn document? It's torn no longer. And it ain't a Texas Air National Guard document:

As it turns out, though, we have traded one mystery for another. It's now clear that the document is genuine, but what exactly does it tell us? In particular:


The first listed date is October 29, not November 29 as we had theorized before. But George Bush was still in Alabama in October. What exactly was he getting attendance credit for?


This is neither a Texas Air National Guard document nor an Alabama document. What is it?


The answer, as you can see from the top line, is that it is an ARF document, as is this record from 1973

...


ARF is a "paper unit" based in Denver that requires no drills and no attendance. For active guard members it is disciplinary because ARF members can theoretically be called up for active duty in the regular military, although this obviously never happened to George Bush.

To make a long story short, Bush apparently blew off drills beginning in May 1972, failed to show up for his physical, and was then grounded and transferred to ARF as a disciplinary measure.
