"Deserter"

[AmerDem]

SUMMARY



An examination of the Bush military files within the context of US Statutory Law, Department of Defense regulations, and Air Force policies and procedures of that era lead to a single conclusion: George W. Bush was considered a deserter by the United States Air Force.



After Bush quit TXANG, he still had nine months of his six-year military commitment left to serve. As a result, Bush became a member of the Air Force Reserves and was transferred to the authority of the Air Reserve Personnel Center (ARPC) in Denver, Colorado. Because this was supposed to be a temporary assignment, ARPC had to review Bush’s records to determine where he should ultimately be assigned. That examination would have led to three conclusions: That Bush had “failed to satisfactorily participate” as defined by United States law and Air Force policy, that TXANG could not account for Bush’s actions for an entire year, and that Bush’s medical records were not up to date. Regardless of what actions ARPC contemplated when reviewing Bush’s records, all options required that Bush be certified as physically fit to serve, or as unfit to serve. ARPC thus had to order Bush to get a physical examination, for which Bush did not show up. ARPC then designated Bush as AWOL and a “non-locatee” (i.e. a deserter) who had failed to satisfactorily participate in TXANG, and certified him for immediate induction through his local draft board. Once the Houston draft board got wind of the situation, strings were pulled; and documents were generated which directly contradict Air Force policy, and which were inconsistent with the rest of the records released by the White House.

2. Which 'mainstream' reporter or news outlet would be most likely

to push the story again?

[Feanorcurufinwe]

5. Surely some reporter out there wants some publicity?

[AmerDem]

7. Mainstream media will need to be pressured.

We know to well they wont do much to show shrub in a bad light. It will take something to force them into it, say someone within the campaign structure somehow making his AWOL status a topic of discussion. Otherwise don't hold your breath. The media is in lockstep with this administration.

8. I get that what I'm wondering is who is mostly to respond to the pressure?

[AmerDem]

9. Well, When this first broke...

last week by an underground reporter who pain stakingly went thru the endless documents and found the break, 1 of the major newspapers or news outlets said they would check all of his research themselves and go from there. I forget who it was, i'm thinking NY Times but I may be off base. Perhaps someone else here can weigh in.

I don't have much time as of now to search anything out.

11. "fair and balanced"?

Ask the media why they didn't give "Deserter" (released in July) the same coverage that they've given "Unfit for Duty".

[AmerDem]

12. we all know the answer to that

I wouldn't expect an answer from the media though.

13. I have an idea...

Since he owes the US and the American people about 7 months duty for being AWOL. I say after he's voted out, he can fulfill his obligation and finish up his National Guard requirement in Iraq.
