By the by, though your link doesn't provide plenty of evidence at all, so far as I can tell, here's some meat and potatoes for you. Do you think anyone other than the gullible should buy into what I'm finding on that site concerning this? You need to get real here, your link contains a fellows "formal complaint" in which he expresses concern that "George W. Bush has never received any punishment for these alleged crimes..." LOL...what a nut, and I'm amazed that you, American Spirit have never received punishment for crimes I allege YOU have committed, LOL. The following will explain why Bush was never charged. His unit in Texas obviously got notice he'd attended his monthly meeting, and paid him. While your site moves from seeming to embrace the legal injustice of punishment based on allegtions only, to referencing statements claiming this:
"General William Turnipseed (r) who was commander of the unit at that time has stated in interviews that he never saw Bush report for duty."
and this: "There is no record that he attended any drills whatsoever."
....the reality is this:

""I don't remember whether he came or not. Our unit had about 900- 1,000 men and he could have attended many meetings without me ever knowing it," Turnipseed said this week.
As for Bush being AWOL, Turnipseed said, "No way. He was never assigned to our unit so he couldn't be AWOL. Like so many Guard and Reserve soldiers during the Vietnam War, they moved around and temporarily attended meetings with other units but Bush never left his original unit in Texas.”
Turnipseed has said all along there would be no mention of the president in the Alabama unit since Bush was paid out of Texas.
When asked about Bush’s pay record, Turnipseed said the paymaster in Alabama would note Bush attended a meeting and send the information onto Texas on what he described as an "IBM 105" card where it would be recorded and sent onto payroll in Colorado.
Bush was accused by Democrats of skipping meetings because there was no written record of him attending those meetings in October and November in Alabama.
On Tuesday, the White House released payroll records that showed the president received credit for attending meetings in October and November 1972.
The records don't indicate where he attended those meetings but he was living in Alabama at the time."

Oh yes, but you and yours will assume the "not yet famous" Bush, who'd done much more guard flying service time than required over 4 years of service, and whom we know put in a request that he be allowed, like so many others, to attend meetings at other units in other states, is guilty of dissertion. LOL And some general doesn't remember him from among some 900 men on some weekend exercise, and you will write that we all should KNOW he is guilty? LOL.
