KNC: In certain cases, but not if disciplinary reasons are the cause for discharge.knc<<< So then I presume you agree that Bush could have received an honorable discharge without necessarily completing his six full years of service. Why would Lt. Rogers write that no one could find evidence of Bush showing up for duty during the final two years of his six-year stint?cis.net From former pilot, Lt. Robert Roger's investigation: "But the first independent investigation of Bush's military record by a former Air National Guard pilot has revealed the following: "1.Pilot George W. Bush did not simply "give up flying" with two years left to fly, as has been reported. Instead, Bush was suspended and grounded, very possibly as a direct or indirect result of substance abuse. "2.The crucial evidence – a Flight Inquiry Board – that would reveal the true reasons for Bush's suspension, as well as the punishment that was recommended, is missing from the records released so far. If no such Board was convened, this raises further questions of extraordinary favoritism. "3.Contrary to Bush's emphatic statements and several published reports, Bush never actually reported in person for the last two years of his service – in direct violation of two separate written orders. Moreover, the lack of punishment for this misconduct represents the crowning achievement of a military career distinguished only by favoritism."cis.net democrats.com Of course, you could contact Lt. Rogers yourself, and learn more, at the following email address: Rar98Hawk@AOL.com
