"Hand on heart do you know of any such charges or any such court martial proceedings ever having taken place?"

Of course no charges were brought, for the reasons already stated. The fact is that George W. Bush was Absent Without Official Leave. That is, he did not show up when he was obligated to appear. He shirked his obligations to the Guard, as has been attested to by many who were in the Guard when he was supposed to have been.

The fact that he was not charged does not alter the fact that he was Absent Without Official Leave. The reason he was not charged? Who his father was. Bush had a PhD degree:   "Papa has Dough." Or power and influence.

Rather than letting Bush off the hook, that compounds the irresponsible nature of his alleged military service in the Guard.

You're weaseling, Teribus, and it won't wash!
