Pres. Bush was never AWOL...that is a disgrace to say such a thing and slander our President!!!! >>> Would you like to see the evidence? Or can you explain why he skipped his mandatory annual physical (as soon as they included drug tests in the physical), was suspended from flying, and was assigned to a 'paper division' to serve out extra time as punishment?

sandintoes, Re: Pres. Bush was never AWOL...that is a disgrace to say such a thing..... I'm amazed at your naivete and baffled by you misplaced loyalty. Of course George was AWOL. He was attempting to avoid the embarrassment of testing positive for cocaine while in the Air National Guard. Everybody knows this. Why there is an entire website dedicated to getting this truth out to the American public, who seem to prefer their present case of cranial rectalitis to actually seeing the world clearly. awolbush.com This is the reason that some of us have sort of thought that it won't do to call this new war in Iraq Desert Storm II. That's so Twentieth Century. Instead, we are calling it Deserter Storm. Cheerio!

Sorry, and yes, it's a disgrace, indeed. Here's from the link Ray provided: "I am angry that so many of the sons of the powerful and well-placed... managed to wangle slots in Reserve and National Guard units...Of the many tragedies of Vietnam, this raw class discrimination strikes me as the most damaging to the ideal that all Americans are created equal and owe equal allegiance to their country." --- Colin Powell’s autobiography, My American Journey, p. 148 awolbush.com More than just "raw class discrimination" it is cowardice. That's why the "Chickenhawk" terminology rankles, if you see the "chickenhawk" video on the same page. More important is the question: how has he gotten away with it? This, like many other things with both he and his father, slide off the table of debate. That's an even more disgraceful issue.
