|Yes. It indicates that he skipped five monthly drills and didn't make them up, |which is what the recently released DOD records -conclusively- show. What monthly drills? That's not how the system worked. See www.warbirdforum.com/bushf102.htm for a study of Bush's record, along with the link comment on the nitty gritty of Guard training, www.warbirdforum.com/guard.htm I've looked at everything posted on the web on this subject (most of it, of course, on anti-Bush sites), and his record looks good to me. Much of the detail is to be found on the same sites that slime his Guard service. The posters just don't understand what they are reading, because they've never been in the military and don't understand the argot. ("Cleared the post" and "received orders" are especially likely to be misunderstood.) all the best -- Dan Ford email: (put Cubdriver in subject line) The Warbird's Forum www.warbirdforum.com Expedition sailboat charters www.expeditionsail.com |

up, |which is what the recently released DOD records -conclusively- show. What monthly drills? That's not how the system worked. I was in the reserves myself. I know how it works. You may not have seen this: "There are two medals awarded to members of the Texas National Guard basically for showing up: Texas Govt Code 431.134 Para 1 Texas Faithful Service Medal The Texas Faithful Service Medal shall be awarded to a member of the state military forces who has completed five years of honorable service during which the person has shown fidelity to duty, efficient service, and great loyalty to the state. and Texas Govt Code 431.134 Para 5 Texas State Guard Service Medal The Texas State Guard Service Medal, shall be awarded to a person completing three consecutive years of honorable service in the Texas State Guard during which the person has shown fidelity to duty, efficient service, and great loyalty to the state. According to his ANG22 (The Air National Guard discharge papers), Bush received *NO* Texas National Guard Medals. This means he did not faithfully execute his duty for five years in the TANG. He also did not even faithfully execute his duty for *three* years in the TANG. This supports the AWOL charges. Furthermore, in the following photograph he wears two Air Force ribbons, Air Force Outstanding Unit Award, and the Small Arms Expert Marksmanship Ribbon : [here's the photo] http://subvulture.com/goteam/george_bush_uniform.jpg Neither of which show up on this line of his ARG22: http://www.awolbush.com/images/BushANG22-box24.gif?CLIC... Assuming Bush was wearing authorized awards, here is a comparison of Kerry and Bush's awards records: I have verified the Air Force Outstanding Unit Award and Air Force Small Arms Expert Marksmanship ribbon only via a photograph of George W. Bush. Other Air Force awards can only be verified if Bush releases his DD214. Top to bottom, left to right as you look at them Kerry: Silver Star (Verified via DD214) Bronze Star (Should have Bronze Combat "V" Device, Verified via DD214) Purple Heart (Should have two Gold Star devices for subsequent awards, Verified via DD214) Combat Action Ribbon (Verified via DD214) Presidential Unit Citation (Verified via DD215, worn above left pocket per Navy regs) Navy Unit Commendation (Verified via DD215) National Defense Service Medal (Verified via DD214) Vietnam Service Medal(Verified via DD214, w/four bronze star devices verified via DD215) Republic of Vietnam Gallantry Cross Unit Citation (Verified via DD215) Republic of Vietnam Civil Actions Unit Citation (Verified via DD215) Republic of Vietnam Campaign Medal (Verified via DD215) Dubya: Air Force Outstanding Unit Award (verified via photograph only) Small Arms Expert Marksmanship Ribbon (verified via photograph only) Comparing in order of precedence, The Air Force Outstanding Unit Award falls below Kerry's Navy Unit Commendation and above his National Defense Service Medal. The Small Arms Expert Marksmanship Ribbon falls between Kerry's Vietnam Service Medal and his Republic of Vietnam Gallantry Cross Unit Citation." http://democraticunderground.com So for some reason, the photo of Bush in uniform as a lieutenant shows ribbons that don't appear on his discharge (which of course he didn't sign). This is more evidence that Bush's discharge papers and other documents are post facto constructs. Strong circumstantial evidence on awolbush.com indicates that Bush was actually ordered to active duty for failure to attend scheduled monthly drills, and failing to report for active duty, declared a deserter.

So, with all due respect, your argument holds zero weight. Please
check your facts before posting again. The Texas medals are only part of it, but nice try. Bush's photo shows ribbons that don't appear on his discharge papers. This suggests that his discharge was provided post facto. Add to that the fact that he -didn't- sign his discharge and it raises a legitmate question. Even more odd, one of the ribbons he is wearing is a unit award. No unit he ever served in received such an award. Walt |
