Bush's Vietnam-Era Military Records Show Gaps

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Bush (news - web sites) was absent for long periods of his final two years of National Guard duty but met service requirements, according to new records cited by the White House in an effort to refute accusations he shirked Vietnam War-era military obligations.

--snip--

Although the records, some of which had been previously released, were not fully legible, Lloyd said they reflected that Bush earned the required number of service points.

The documents show long gaps in Bush's Guard service, from May through late October 1972, and mid-January through early April 1973.

2. Jennings helps to release this on purpose...


so the administration can vet it publicly well before the election...

and it backfires on them.

Priceless.

3. McClellan was stomped on CNBC just now

they interviewed an expert on military law who explained in detail why the pay records McClellan had in his hand didn't prove a thing for Bush.
