AWOL: BUSH NEVER MADE UP GUARD SERVICE FOR 1972-73
Edited on Wed Jul-28-04 02:56 PM by rawstory
Finally, at long last, the much awaited exclusive and hard proof -- you can check all the documents yourself.

By John Byrne | Raw Story Editor

Instead of dispelling claims that President George W. Bush was absent without leave (AWOL), a close inspection of the payroll records released by the White House actually show that the President never made up five months of missed Air Force National Guard service in 1972 and 1973, RAW STORY can reveal.

The research, conducted by Paul Lukasiak, surrounds one line of type in Bush’s payroll records from the second quarter of the calendar year 1973.

The bottom line below plainly shows the credits, or “points,” Bush received for his unit training assembly (UTA) sessions. The first set of four numbers represent the points accrued for the current fiscal year (CUR FY).

As the document shows, he did not accrue any points for the first quarter of fiscal year 1973, which began July 1, 1972. The coversheet for the payroll records (released to the media this month) also confirms this: he was paid nothing for July, August or September.

1. Go Paul!
Paul Lukasiak is a man who has been tackling the dirty details of Bush crimes for four years now.

We owe him.

2. Hi rawstory,
This really seems to be substantially the same story you posted earlier. I really think we should keep it all in one thread.
