Billy Jack sez: …George W. Bush is a deserter!
Edited on Fri Feb-27-04 06:15 PM by Jim Sagle
Here is the ironclad, indisputable proof that based on just the facts that Bush and his campaign admit happened, under the Texas Code of Military Justice, Section 432.130 & 432.131, Bush is unequivocally and absolutely guilty of multiple violations of being both AWOL and a Deserter subject to court martial.

Senator Daniel Inouye, who lost an arm in WWII, commented that if during his service, if he missed training like Bush did, “at the least I would have been court-martialed.”

Every journalist worthy of the name, instead of attacking Michael Moore and Clark should be outraged at the fact that Bush, an AWOL Deserter has become Commander in Chief and is using his power to recklessly send beautiful trusting and believing heroic men and women to be maimed and slaughtered in Iraq for no reason other than The Bush Doctrine and Halliburton Oil.

Isn’t it a thousand times more important for the future of America that the press vigorously investigate whether or not the President really was an AWOL Deserter than to irresponsibly make charges against Clark and Moore for simply telling the truth? Here is the definitive proof Bush was a Deserter.

2. great one, Jim Bob!
Tom Laughlin is just about the BEST bad actor.

got to give him credit for this, though.

least he's honest, not like almost every OTHER smug, smirking fatuous action hero out there.

he is pretty nuts, though.

loved Born Losers, where Jeremy Slate gets it right between his heart shaped sunglasses lenses

that was the precursor to Billy Jack, pretty sure

four and a half stars!

8. Wouldn't you like to see him kick w in the head?
And there wouldn't be a damn thing he could do about it either.

15. Flashback...1972
I remember seeing that movie...the prelude to the Trial Of Billy Jack...in the theaters and had never seen anything so violent...until the next Laughlin movie. Thanks for the memory.

Yep, Laughlin is off the deep end on most issues...a true Liberatarian...in the mountain man mold. If I'm not mistaken he's still a registered Repugnican and ran in some of the primaries in the past.

I definitely see a major shift in the military that could profoundly hurt the GOOP this year and leave a deep scar for a generation...just like the one in the wake of Vietnam that has hurt the Democrats.

Check out the military family sites...Mari333 always is posting links and you'll see the undertow that could really destroy this regime.

4. wrong
Although I do not agree with Bush on many things, I cannot stand by and let people erroneously call him a deserter. That only makes the name-callers look uneducated and lowers the standards we apply to people who truly deserted or draft-dodged. Bush was required to earn a certain number of points each year by completing certain training and other service missions. His lowest year, he had a few more points than required, and his highest year, he had about 150 points more than needed. Thus, he completed the terms of his service. He was discharged early to go to business school, but by that time, the National Guard had too many people. They were trying to get rid of people to cut back on spending and because a large Guard was no longer necessary. A great many others also got out early around that time. As to the AWOL charges, Bush was never AWOL. He missed some training, but always with a reason that met Guard rules for missing training, and he made it all up later, again in accordance with the rules at that time. Someone in another branch of the service might have been court martialed for missing training, but not someone in the Guard at that time. Others did what Bush did, and they weren't in trouble, either.

6. Not AWOL
Thanks for setting the record straight. I think we have more important battles to fight than making an issue out of a non-issue. Let's admit it, there is alot of ammunition Republicans can use against John Kerry, if we engage in this sort of mud-slinging. Concentrate on the real issues and keep the battles adult.

12. That Freeper did NOT set the record straight.
The traitor-in-chief, George W. Chickenhawk, WAS AWOL. The records PROVE THIS.

--aren't you proud of your cowardly CIC who strutted around like a turkey in military costume and continues to strut around military bases dressed in military costume just showing off how mano-mano he is ?

23. Your reasoning is that
if the Democrats don't, in your words, engage in mudslinging, then the Republicans will be "adult" and concentrate on the real issues. Sending other peoples kids to die when the record of your own service is VERY questionable is an issue. You're just here to to ask the Dems to unilaterally disarm knowing full well there is nothing beneath the Repubs when it comes to a political campaign.

10. Welcome to DU, Filogirl.
It may be technically correct to say that he was not a deserter. I was a military personnel specialist during that period and processed many desertion/AWOL/Bad Conduct discharges, including NG's who were activated as punishment and still couldn't hack it and got BCD's. Whether an offender was Article 15'd, court-martialed, section 8'd, etc. was negotiated variously among his CO, JAG, civilian lawyer (very rare) and, putatively, the offender. NObody, in my experience, walked.

So, I propose a simple test. The TCMJ has not changed since then in this regard.

1. Enlist in the Guard.

2. Do what Shrub did.

3. See what happens. (Don't be afraid. The military stockades are administered by the Federal Bureau of Prisons, and are actually quite nice, as lockups go.)

:toast:

11. Boy, I can hear you kissing
his ass clear over here.
He WAS AWOL and should be punished, just like "all those other guys".
BTW you got names of "all those other guys"?

Please, crawl back under your rock.

14. Hi filogirl
Are you Laura or Barbara Bush.The average man could not get in the Guard in the mid to late 60's let alone the air guard in a bearly obsolete supersonic jet(f-102 delta dagger)Your son or husband of privilege is an asshole that does not deserve to live in this country let alone be allowed to rule it like a dictator.Welcome to DU

17. Talk about delusional.
It's so much easier to face reality than to deny it. We have a military criminal who happens to be the Commander-In-Chief of the Armed Forces. Accept that fact.

21. Thanks for coming here to defend the Shrub
Actually someone with a different name might well have been court-martialed, even in the Guard. When I was in the military missing a year or so was considered a no-no. Make excuses and rationalizations if you want but he did not do honorable service. He wanted to avoid Viet Nam, and he did. He wasn't interested in fulfilling his commitment and he didn't.

...go ahead and beat the Bush,
Do it in the name of justice,
Let's just kick him all right in the tush.
There won't be any GOPpers cheering
Come election day.
On the bloody morning after
Little Chimpy walks away...

18. AWOL
Anyone who looks at the orders issued between 1May72 and 1May73 knows GWB was AWOL sufficient enough to be a deserter. These orders also show that GWB never met his obligations for an honorable discharge; yet, he received one. What galls me even more are all those who served honorably still supporting him even though his "honorable discharge" cheapens theirs. The hypocrisy of his supporters apparently knows no bounds. FYI, there is no statute of limitations on being AWOL or desertion.
