So, does this mean Bush was AWOL from the USAF too? (re: Drudge spin)

[LTR]

Drudge served up this steaming pile of bullshit on his site as a PDF file. Here are the images:

What I'm wondering is, why is this the first we've heard about it?

Or maybe it's forged. :evilgrin:

What is this all about?

1. Yeah, but it is Drudge

So I dunno :shrug:

2. Technuically Bush went to an active duty unit

to get his pilot training. For all intenst and puroposes and the AF explained this four years ago, he was still a member of the Guard during this temporary transfer, as he was never federealized.

It is all technical and matt is trusting that most freepers DO NOT serve so woudl not know this... this is akin to the two weeks of active duty training all guardsmen get every year, (in times of peace that is, not under bush)

3. It is an Enlistment Contract

I believe that this document basically says that you will be on Active Duty for 120 days. Any reservist who goes through training is called up to active duty. Even Shrub. Drudge what is your point.

4. All of a sudden this comes up...please.

5. READ THIS. He WAS NOT active duty

6. I noticed someone else put up a thread

Locked because it evolved into flame wars.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=132&topic_id=804188&mesg_id=804188

I posted this from Drudge because it deserved debunking, and I know the folks here at DU can rip it to shreds in a matter of minutes.

Still pisses me off that the other one drew replies like honey draws flies. At least this thread is still open. :)

7. The other thread was posted by a Freeper...

and his comments led to flames.

But thank you for posting this!

9. I don't know anything about Bangkok whores

But Neil Bush does.
