Here is some proof of the widely accepted claim that Bush was a deserter. Every article goes through in some detail the activities of Mr. Bush in 1972-1973:

The last one is particularly good, but I am sure somebody is going to point out that it is not funded by a multibillion dollar media empire such as Rupert Murdoch or TIME AOL so therefore can not possibly be a fair and accurate portrayal of Soldier Bush's fearless service in Birmingham.

You're right, that was a very informative site and was well documented. What it did document was that Bush was absent from duty for a time period and that he was later reinstated. It never discloses what the problem was. Based on that, and what I have read about Bush, I will promote this theory (and it is just a theory). I don't think Bush was a deserter. If he was he should have been shot (which I guess is still a tanglble possibility in the United States). I think there was something else behind the "missing time" and it was a very good reason for being away from duty, completely excusable, and a reason for the military to leave it out of his records or not release it.
George Bush used to be a very wild child. He was a party animal and liked to drink, alot. He later found God to help him with this demon (in reality I think he found God because his wife was tired of his crap and she was ready to divorce him and take all his money). I think that when Bush was in the TXANG he probably went a little too far one a bender and ended up being disciplined and sent to dry out. This is something that the military would have likely been obliged to keep confidential and would have not included in their records, other than medical which are sealed without expressed written consent.
So I don't think Bush deserted. I think that's all BS. I think its a time in Bush's life that he has grown out of (for crying outloud, it happened 30 years ago) and would not go down the same road again. I don't think it matters in this election nor is relevant for doing the job of the president. All I care about is the guy's ability to handle issues and challenges relevant in today's world. Having said that, I'd be very curious to know what the hell Bush is going to do in the areas of foreign policy, offshoring of jobs and the economy in general? That's what matters. [/b][/quote]
Great post, and even though we disagree on a lot of items, I'm totally on side with this one.
It would be nice to see a election decided on issues, and issue resolution.
However I do stand by my word that if one side uses his past as a tool, the other side has a right to take a serious look at it
