Like I explained, the term only applies to people on Active Duty, e.g. full time job. The term is defined in the Uniform Code of Military Justice and only applies to people on Active Duty. The Reserves are not active duty and its members are not subject to the UCMJ period. When Reservists go on active duty, you sign a piece of paper acknowledging that you are subject to the UCMJ for the next two weeks, in the once a year case of Active Duty for Annual Training. Weekend drills are not active duty. If Bush didn't show up during an Annual Training that he had orders for and didn't have a valide reason, that would be a different story. But thats not the case here. People are saying he didn't show up for weekend drills he was schedule for. There is no proof that there were scheduled drills that were not resceduled due to work conflicts or other valid reasons in advance. And even if he didn't show up, its not a criminal offense.
