The AWOL Story Just Won't Go AWOL
In case you've heard some say how reckless it is to suggest George blew off a year or two of National Guard duty during Vietnam (others who did this got sent to Vietnam in the Army), you'll be interested to know that this story just won't go away. Others have already summed it up well so far, including Josh Marshall, the Post (here and here), and the Times. His commander in the Guard during the time in question said again yesterday that Bush never reported to him. In 1973, his commanders couldn't write their annual evaluation because "Bush has not been observed at this unit during the period of this report." (5/72 - 4/73).
This issue was brought back into prominence by Michael Moore in his support of Wesley Clark. Moore has been pounded on this issue, but has a rebuttal online.
