the AWOL status of Bush is a relevant election issue
It relates directly to the possible drafting of thousands of young Americans.
These future draftees may be serving under an AWOL Commander-in-Chief.

Future draft? Never heard it was being considered. We already have something

something that works?

President Bush was never AWOL. There would be a record of that.
