The charge, Mr. Bush is Dereliction of Duty
Forgive me if this has been discussed and I missed it.

......In other words, it's probable that Bush missed the physical deliberately in order to force the transfer to Alabama.

But Bush missed his flight physical in July 1972 -- and then he never attempted to make up for it. He didn't seek a physical in August or September. If it was an error of omission or inconvenience (as Karen Hughes asserted), all he had to do was go see a military flight surgeon in either Texas or Alabama to correct it. But he didn't. Instead, on Sept. 5th, he received authorization from Texas to work on the Senate campaign and also to perform some of his service in Alabama. On Sept. 29 -- after six to eight weeks of taking no action to remedy the discrepancy -- Bush was suspended as a pilot "failure to take annual physical."

What does this add to the mix? Did the scrubbed records contain any correspondence between Bush and the Texas Guard regarding the missed flight physical? Did Bush, after receiving millions of dollars worth of flight training from the Texas Army National Guard, deliberately refuse to maintain his flying privileges in order to stay in Alabama?

And if so isn't THE ISSUE also one of dereliction of duty?

Dereliction in the performance of duties

a. That the accused had certain duties;

b. That the accused knew or reasonably should have known of the duties; and

c. That the accused was (willfully) (through neglect or culpable inefficiency) derelict in the performance of those duties.

2. Yeah, it sounds like Bush
It's just another way of throwing a tantrum and getting your way.

Only he does it on a breathtaking scale, doesn't he?

3. let's see what would happen if one of us try this out in our lives
wonder if we'd be as trifecta-ly lucky

his current endeavor should include 'Negligence', as well as, Dereliction of Duty -- both are good ol'boy traits (see: corporate america)

5. The REAL Problem With The AWOL Lies Is This:
Isn't he appointing these committees to look into THE MOST IMPORTANT SHIT EVER like 9/11 investigations etc....if they are so freaked out about ANYTHING showing GWB in an unflattering light, to the point where they will tapdance around AND flat-out lie, how much credibility do any of the current investigations have?

Hey he himself admitted to being a screw up at that age -- for some reason he was given a pass on everything he ever did up to his early 40s (which they are obviously not giving any of his opponents.)

I think he should have just admitted that he didn't take his Guard service that seriously. Of course then he would have to tell the truth.
