Then why did he sign a pledge in mid-1973 to do it? Your link says "Bush signed pledges to complete required duty or face being called into active duty for two years." It doesn't say that he signed those pledges in mid-1973. One of the anti-Bush sites put up a scan of a page that it called Bush's pledge (and like you it argued that this meant that Bush faced some special requirement to sign some pledge in 1973 and that he did sign it). It was analyzed and the commitment Bush made was his enlistment papers. In any case if the National Guard wanted him to stay longer it would be silly to put him on inactive status at about the same time as this fictional pledge and then several months later give him an honorable discharge. I believe I linked to all of this but I can't find the post now. Tim
