Bush can be arrested at any time -- "the UCMJ does not contain a statute of limitation for arrest and court-martial of an airman who can be charged with desertion" Interesting bit from this review of "Fortunate Son" near the bottom. (Thanks for that movie note, please relate your impressions. I've ordered the book.) amazon.com The reviewer reminds us that Fortunate Son's documenting of Bush's marijuana and cocaine arrest and his lying and destruction of those records are actually ... "... the least of George W. Bush's lesser crimes and misdemeanors. Left out of this book are details of George W. Bush's most serious crimes: away without leave [A.W.O.L.] from the Texas Air National Guard (see for complete documentation, awolbush.com). After being suspended from flying in August 1972 (for failure to show up for his annual physical examination), Lt. George W. Bush was "Not Observed" from May 1, 1972 to April 30, 1973, according to his official Annual Officer Effectiveness Report, 5/2/73. Under Articles 85 of the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ) this is among the more serious military crimes for which the most severe penalty is: "In time of war. Death or such other punishment as a court-martial may direct." During the period of Bush's absence the United States was at war with North Vietnam. Obviously, he had been provided the privilege by his string pulling family of a speedy enlistment in the Texas Air National Guard to avoid service in Vietnam. The misdeeds of "W" presented in FORTUNATE SON are trivial by comparison with his truly serious crimes. And, incidentally, the UCMJ does not contain a statute of limitation for arrest and court-martial of an airman who can be charged with desertion!
