DESERTER

THE STORY OF GEORGE W. BUSH AFTER HE QUIT THE TEXAS AIR NATIONAL GUARD


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:
1) That Bush had “failed to satisfactorily participate” as defined by United States law and Air Force policy
2) that TXANG could not account for Bush’s actions for an entire year
3) 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.

1. ALL ROADS LEAD TO A MEDICAL EXAMINATION
Edited on Thu Sep-16-04 11:21 AM by buycitgo
Before continuing the examination of the procedures that would have been followed based on Bush’s records, it should be pointed out that “all roads lead to a medical examination.”

Assuming for the moment that Bush was not classified as an “unsatisfactory participant” by ARPC, ARPC still had to “determine his current status and … award an appropriate Availability Classification Code and assign the individual to the appropriate Reserve section.” In order to do this, ARPC needed to know Bush’s physical qualifications.

All members of the Air Force whose jobs required “flight status” were required to get a physical examination each year within three months prior to their birthday. Those not on flight status were required to get a physical examination at least once every four years and were required to submit a certification of physical fitness to serve each year. The periodic physical examination for those not on flight status required exams within eight months prior to the 27th birthday of all members of the Air Force

George W. Bush turned 27 on July 6, 1973. His last physical was in 1971.

Thus, regardless of what ARPC wanted to do with Bush, it was absolutely necessary that Bush get a physical examination before they could make any decisions. And ARPC would have instructed Bush to accomplish that physical examination, and when he did not get that physical, ordered him to “special active duty.”

The absolute requirement for a physical examination and annual certification of physical fitness is one of the “choke points” in Bush’s military records. All possible outcomes required that ARPC determine Bush’s physical qualifications. In order to achieve that, ARPC would have first “instructed”, then “ordered” Bush to get a physical examination. We know, from Bush’s records, that no such examination was ever accomplished. Thus we know that Bush failed to obey a direct order to appear for active duty.

5. geezuss, what is this, bizarro world?
Edited on Thu Sep-16-04 12:15 PM by buycitgo


nobody's interested in this at all?

this is the crux of the issue....forget about the Rove sideshow

force the media to get the physical out; the ''physically fit to serve/unfit to serve'' conundrum out there. it's resolvable, according to Lukasiak, only as a legal matter, involving DESERTION

is he wrong?

doesn't anybody care?
