the AWOL status of Bush is a relevant election issue

Sometimes you don't even need a fire. I was missing two training reports an OPR
in my records. I must be an unknowing participant in the "vast right wing lost
records conspiracy".

You better sit down. All my fathers WW2 records were accidentally
destroyed
in a fire in St. Louis. The whole country suspects my father was involved,
as he
was a Teamster. He's been dead for 30 years, but people still remember he
had
no military records, and that he was a Teamster. It's simple math: 1 + 1 =
3.

Funny, my records were at that same facility in St. Louis and
survived, or were recoverable.

The fire in question only involved a portion of the building. I no longer
recall the details beyond that.

Any white male who thinks he "made it on his own" without the benefits
of race and gender is simply delusional.

But on the other hand someone who thinks that the best way to make a living is
to have babies and garner more government benefits, wear $500 Nike shoes, carry
$500 Gucci handbags, and drive fancy cars while at the same time earning no
more than an 8th grade education is delisuional as well.

Huh? In this day and age being a white male is a *liability.*

Now, an African American female (the dumber, lazier and fatter the
better!) has it made in the shade.

IIRC the fire happened in the 1968-69 timeframe.

Many WWII and WWI records were lost. Some Korea and early Vietnam as well.
