On Bush:
As for Bush being AWOL, I don't think that was the case, after all AWOL for a year, some National Guards men or women can answer my question on this, but from my own experience of filling out AWOL paperwork and doing up Deserter paperwork in my brief time in the military, that if an individual is AWOL, after 31 days he is charged as a Deserter and dealt with as such, even officers get charged, if Bush was AWOL for a year he would have been declared a deserter no matter how powerful his Dad is, because the Military loathes Deserters with vengeance, which should be clear to see with the guy who went AWOL in Korea close to 50 years ago, they don't forget Deserters. So if Bush was AWOL for a year he would have been charged and lost rank with a court martial, but the fact that he did not and received an Honorable Discharge shows that he was not AWOL, you can't be AWOL and receive an Honorable Discharge, and I think if Bush presented that right there it's enough to stop his supposed AWOL in Alabama attackers (which I did see an LTC from that Unit come and say Bush was there on Hannity and Colmes, and Colmes was asking the question well what about the people who were there and said they didn't see him, last time I checked there are more than twenty people in a guard unit like that, hell do you think a First Sergeant (I was a SPC) out of my Battalion knew I was there on Fort Benning. So I want Bush to release his Honorable Discharge papers and other release papers such as the DD 214 (don't know what it's predecessor was) to show he was not AWOL.
On Kerry:
I too would like to see Kerry release his AARs, but the bigger question is when did he a get a Honorable Discharge, I heard a rumor it was in 2001 is when he finally got the paperwork, now the military will back date paperwork when it comes to things like that, but 2001 that's quite a time after his discharge that he got an honorable discharge paper, he should have had it after his four months in which he received his purple hearts.
Also a question for other military, since when did the words "OFFICIAL COPY" get stamped on all of the Military's paperwork, I thought the document was official without the stamps.
