Bush went AWOL because he was an irresponsible little twit who had been spoiled by his family's wealth and influence, which he still trades on to this day. Perhaps kathy_is_a nurse would like to discuss Dubya with the Texas Air National Guard commandant's secretary who typed the notes for him, who stated that, though the documents presented by CBS seemed to be fraudulent, their contents were not. She should know since she typed them.
I thought it was laughable decades ago when the spoiled rich kid whose father once ran the CIA thought he could sweet talk the people of west Texas into electing him to Congress by pretending to be one of the good old boys. What a load of manure! They all thought he was a little twit then and turned a deaf ear to his attempts to get elected.
I wish people in the rest of the country would get a handle on the real George Bush. Many of us here in Texas know what he truly is: a fraud, who holds himself out to be something he isn't. Eventually the whole truth about George Bush will be revealed. It may take decades, but it will out. Count on it!

Technically Bush was never AWOL. He just was given special priviledges not available to the regular rank and file. His father requested some strings be pulled so that W could assist in campaigning and the military (working outside standard procedure for the average guy) allowed W to go off and campaign for his dad.
It's really that simple. W never did something wrong of his own volition. He has always done what his daddy wanted...why do you think he became president...it's not like he ever wanted to be...

Its more serious than that. Going AWOL could just mean you missed a PT formation or something. WHat Bush did was much worse than that.
George W Bush was afraid to go to Vietnam. On his application essay to be a pilot in the Texas Air National Guard, he wrote down how he would prefer not to "go overseas", presumedly to fight for his country. He did however profess a great love for flying.
Due to influence from his father, George W Bush was accepted at the Texas ANG post, despite hundreds of more qualified applicants being on the list ahead of him (I assume LOTS of Texans didn't want to go to Vietnam). He was trained to fly F-102s, what was then an all-purpose cargo aircraft stateside, but which was also used in Nam.
Bush requested a duty transfer to an Alabama Guard Unit, which was granted, even though that post did not have F-102s. As Bush was qualified to fly nothing else, this should have been grounds to deny the transfer request. The reason he requested and received the transfer was so he could work for one of his father's friends who was running for office at timeand Bush wanted to work on the campaign.
During his Texas ANG time, he missed drill dates with no excuse in May and June 1972. On Sept 15, 1973, Bush's Duty Status was changed to "Non-Locatee", the term the Air Force used instead of "Deserter" to notify Bush's Selective Service Board the "Non-Locatee" was now off Active Reserve status and available for duty in other theaters, such as Vietnam.
In order to keep his son out of Nam, Bush Sr. "suggested" changing his son's job in the ANG to "Executive Something or Other", a position he was not at all qualified to hold. This was done to perpetuate the myth that Bush Jr had completed his military obligation.
He never did, in actuality. He STILL hasn't faced up to his obligations, yet constantly refers to himself as "the War President", as though that makes up for shameless cowardice int he face of the enemy.
Bush is a Deserter in a time of war. This is, in a time of war, a capital offense, meaning the maximum punishment could be execution by hanging.

i do no longer think of there has been a president of america in its history greater attacked than our contemporary one. There look no limits to what he would be attacked for. I shop questioning that if the Congress has time to start over 2 hundred separate investigations into issues accomplished legally and legitimately by technique of the Bush administration, they are in a position to make time to paintings on fixing the matters that the yankee public certainly care approximately. those investigations are in basic terms as valueless as each and all of the hype approximately Monica and her blue gown. i think of the claims that he replaced into AWOL are an attempt of left questioning human beings to attack their way out of the speedy Boat Vets memories. They could no longer convince the common public (consisting of me) that Kerry served honorably so they tried to declare that Bush did no longer serve honorably. it truly is the 1st i've got heard it suggested in distinctive months. those issues tend to flow through in cycles. i understand you're questioning what evidence I certainly have that Kerry did no longer serve honorably. i've got seen the video of his testimony till now congress wherein he reported that he and his fellow squaddies committed conflict crimes. i think of that he's the two a conflict criminal or a liar. the two way i do no longer desire him interior the white abode. i think that he replaced into meant to lose as a manner to pave the way for Clinton in 2008. Her probabilities of winning are plenty greater advantageous in 2008 than they could have been in 2004. the way of politics on the instant is that the claims pass back and forth and get greater outrageous each and each cycle. no longer something smart gets accomplished and all human beings can say that the part they do no longer trust is making arguements that are patently fabricated.

I'm sure you wouldn't want facts to get in the way of your prejudice, so I won't bother. Maybe you can have a nice chat with Dan Rather some day about what is fact and what is fiction.
