Analysis of the payroll records show that he did not attend/make up at
least five drills.

You can't find them in other words.
DOD is happy with the record.

Are they still on about that? Bush actually attended more drills in
his last two years than were expected of him. See
www.warbirdforum.com/bushf102.htm for an analysis of his military
service that takes into account all the paranoid stuff that has been
posted and published on this subject.

The common thread I find in the anti-Bush articles and web pages is an
almost complete ignorance of military procedure. For example, you will
find breathless pointing to the fact that he "was ordered" to attend a
weekend of training, misunderstanding the statement that he "got
orders" for the drill--in other words, he received authorization.

Another instance: your ditsy interlocutor points with shock to the
fact that Bush served six months EXTRA! Omigod! Surely this proves
something?

Sure, it proves that he spent 12 months in the inactive reserve in
exchange for having 6 months chopped off his Guard duty.
