"President George W. Bush’s Military Service: A Critical Analysis"
www.nytimes.com/packages/pdf/opinion/lechliter.pdf
Quote:{The pay records released by the White House this past winter prove Bush received unauthorized, i.e. fraudulent, payments for inactive duty training, even if he did show up for duty....The memorandum for Lt. Colonel (Retired) Albert C. Lloyd, who affirmed for the White House that Bush met his retention/retirement year point requirement, is an obfuscation, or outfight deception, that disregarded Bush's faliure to meet the statutory and regulatory fiscal year satisfactory participatioin requirement.}
Etc.

Sorry about the typos, this ancient OS at work doesn't let me cut and paste from .pdf files.

Unlike the Idiot who answered before me with a John Kerry answer. Bush is , was and always will be a coward. And I'm former Military so I can say that. Do you really need to ask this question considering all the Cowardly acts he's pulled since being in office. Like Father Like Son. Lets go bomb a country that wasn't even the focal point of all this mess in the first place. So Why should it even shock anyone that he ran from his military obligations for however long when he enlisted years back.

During his fifth year as a guardsman, Bush's records show no sign he appeared for duty.
May 24, 1972: Bush, who has moved to Alabama to work on a US Senate race, gets permission to serve with a reserve unit in Alabama. But headquarters decided Bush must serve with a more active unit.
Sept. 5, 1972: Bush is granted permission to do his Guard duty at the 187th Tactical Recon Group in Montgomery. But Bush's record shows no evidence he did the duty, and the unit commander says he never showed up.
November 1972 to April 30, 1973: Bush returns to Houston, but apparently not to his Air Force unit.
May 2, 1973: The two lieutenant colonels in charge of Bush's unit in Houston cannot rate him for the prior 12 months, saying he has not been at the unit in that period.
Under Air National Guard rules at the time, guardsmen who missed duty could be reported to their Selective Service Board and inducted into the Army as draftees." --Boston Globe, 5/23/00

Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Rove, Rush Limbaugh, and Bill O'Reilly are all chickenhawk draft dodgers. Every one of them ducked military service. The Republicans who lied this country into Iraq are members of a club -- the OPC club -- "Other People's Children." The Republican rich don't serve in the armed forces, nor do they tell the truth. If Republicans cared about telling the truth, we wouldn't be in Iraq.

He then chose to quit flying, much to the relief of the Squadron Commander. Drunks are cheap and expendable, Fighter planes are neither.<

He's a coward. Served with the national Guard or something to avoid going into the army proper. He is a wanker.

He didn't. He served honorably in the national guard, which met his obligations. Isn't this an old, old accusation that's already been put to rest? Throwing the same old BS against the wall again? It has the same old smell. When are you commislamic radicals ever going to learn that you are going to need something constructive to win?

he didn't, unlike that treasonous s-o-b Clinton who fled the country and the traitor John 'Le' Kerry who negotiated with North Vietnamese government without US government authorization

No, but Clinton was a draft-dodging traitor.
He committed acts of treason while in Britain by protesting against America while on foreign soil.
That's treason.
Like many Democrats, Clinton didn't like America very much.
He may like it better now that he's worth millions.
