" National Guard ...Bush worked out the terms of his enlistment, pulled some extra duty and was honorably discharged...."

>>> Correct. He was assigned an extra year in a 'paper division' to make up for the no-show.

"your conjecture is unwarranted....."

>>> The only conjecture was when I wondered if someone without the surname of 'Bush' would have been treated so leniently if they'd failed to show.... Seems like a reasonable conjecture.

"Harken... Bush was cleared by the analysis conducted by staffers, nonpolitical appointees."

>>> NEGATIVE. They recommended prosecution, and were over-ruled by the SEC chair (a Bush I appointee.)
