What documents disprove the Bush story?
There's a lot of documents that prove Bush went AWOL.
Official government documents.
www.awolbush.com
Funny... anyone who knows anything about how USAF paperwork is worded
and used will see that he served his time, and didn't get into any
trouble. The site authors seem to have trouble wit hteh phrase
"inactive reserves" and the concept of "exigencies of service."
The authors of that site did a lot of backflips to try and pretend
that he did something wrong, but it's not in the documents at that
site.

"Lt. Bush has not been observed at this unit during the period of
report. A civilian occupation made it necessary for him to move to
Montgomery, Alabama. He cleared this base on 15 May 1972 and has been
performing equivalent training in a non-flying status with the 187 TAC
recon Gp, Dannelly ANG Base, Alabama."
[signed]
"William D. Harris, Jr. Lt Col. Pilot, Flt Intcp"
"Jerry D. Killian, Lt. Col. Squadron Commander"
Both signatures dated 2 May 1973 [50 weeks after the date Bush "cleared
this base."]

"Application for Reserve Assignment, Bush, George W, 1sr Lt
"TAG Texas
"1. Application for Reserve Assignment for First Lieutenant Bush is
returned.
"2. A review of his Master Personel Record shows he has a Military
Service Obligation until 26 May 1974. Under provisions of paragraph 30-6
n (4), AFM 35-3, an obligated Reservist can be assigned to a specific
Ready Reserve position only. Therefore, he is ineligible for assignment
to an Air Reserve Squadron."
signed by The Director of Personnel Resources on 24 May 1972.
9 days *after* Bush "cleared" his prior posting. Bush failed to return
to his post in Texas for another 47 weeks after that. That is desertion
of duty. You cannot spin it any other way. You can pull strings (if your
Poppy) but you cannot change the fact that Bush's transfer request was
denied and he still failed to return to his post for nearly a year.
You have provided these meaningless cites about five times now--nobody is
buying into them being the foundation of this great conspiracy theory you
are trying to construct. You have repeatedly demonstrated you have
absolutely no understanding of the military in general, or the Guard in
particular; when presented with snippets of how those organizations do
operate, you snip it away and continue merrily on with your shrill ranting.
So... begone with you, and with your tireless machinations towards the goal
of conspiracy construction. Find a fencepost that is willing to listen to
you and try to learn something from it--should be a nearly equal battle in
terms of the wit level.
*plonk*
The last act of a coward.
