New Bush Guard Records Released

Posted by michael on from the fighting-the-last-war dept.

rwiedower writes "Over the past 24 hours, several new stories have emerged surrounding President Bush's service in the National Guard. Memos from his commanding officer seem to indicate he was unhappy with Bush's desire to leave Texas, and that he felt Bush was going 'over his head' to get out of service. In true slashdot/military/government fashion, Killian even titled one memo 'CYA'. (The memos, in pdf format, are available here.)"

    I sure am glad that Politics.Slashdot.Org doesn't take sides and runs a fair mix of articles covering both sides...

    Sure, here's one thing:

    http://www.boston.com/news/globe/editorial_opinion /oped/articles/2004/04/29/the_kerry_medals_mystery /

    But I'm not going to let this devolve into who lied about what, because both sides lied about things related to and/or surrounding their military experience, and I just provided you one one extremely clear example for Kerry (nevermind that several individuals have specifically said that Kerry has categorically lied about things that happened while in Vietnam, said he was in Cambodia when it was impossible for him to be, etc...then the Kerry camp comes out and says "Navy documents refute X, Y, and Z" and the Bush camp does exactly the same thing).

    Good. Please don't let that distract you from the fact that 30,000 Iraqi people have died in a war under the guise of "liberation", justified by punishing hijackers from Saudi Arabia that killed 3,000 Americans

    You ROCK!! I am so glad to see facts! There are people here spewing out lies and mistruths and not checking their stories.

    Conservative=Reasoning)
