Something just occurred to me, has *'s DD214 been seen?

[mike1963]

When I was in the AF, I often helped out typing up documents (wasn't my job but nobody else could type worth a shit) and I've seen a lot of DD214s...there are "General" discharges as well as Honorable and Dishonorable - but the word "general" doesn't appear on the document,
it is worded "Under Honorable Conditions".

They are issued to people who have had disciplinary actions not serious enough to warrant a DD.

hmmm

1. Please check out this excellent thread from last week

This is a thread by BOSSHOG and the DU Vets.

You're saying "Under Honorable Conditions" is not the same as an Honorable Discharge?

3. Will check that thread, and yes, they are quite different. n/t

2. The only thing that has been seen...

is the torn piece of paper with no name and a blacked out SS# which they claim as Bush's record.

Somehow, all his records have disappeared. He could release his 1040's to prove he got a paycheck but he won't do that because it is incriminating.

6. Plenty of docs here.

I keep posting this, but apparently not enough folks know about this yet. Marty Heldt has obtained quite a few of Bush's docs via the Freedom Of Information Act. Check it out.

Scanned docs here.

Here's the main page to his site ...
http://users.cis.net/coldfeet

... with links to a couple of articles, including this one, which has each allegation linked to a supporting doc.

Finally, The Truth About Bush's Military Record
http://www.tompaine.com/feature.cfm/ID/3671

Worth a read ... Marty has been working on this a long time. We could still stand to see those pay stubs, though.

8. Look at these two documents.

Sorry you have to cut and paste the links.  Apparently you
can't post a link to an image w/o the image appearing in the
post. DANG! That's aggravating.

Anyhow ...

Penalty for bad attendance.

Signed, GW Bush

Then ...

Bush's discharge papers

4. I doubt if they would have given the son of the

Republican National Committee Chairman anything but an honorable discharge, no matter what he had done. They cleaned him up real good.

5. Good point on the DD-214

The documents that have been put on the Internet to prove he was AWOL, show that he had an honorable discharge and not any other category (general under honorable circumstances, OTH, dishonorable or BCD). The first two in the parentheses are for those who screwed up but did not rise to the level of administrative action, the send two are called punitive discharges and are reserved for those who went to a court-martial. He would not have gotten an honorable discharge if he had been subject to military discipline. There are plenty of reasons to tear him apart, I think this is a bad one to attack IMHO.

9. Think his father may have had something to do with his

"honorable" discharge? And this is the perfect reason to tear him apart - he sees no problem with sending others to war when he couldn't be bothered to even show up for his champagne unit. He landed on that carrier in that ludicrous flight suit. He said he's been to war and he's raised twins, and he'd rather go to war.

Thanks for YHO, but Mr. War President is getting his ass handed to him over this, and not one minute too soon. I hope this continues to build and build until he is forced to admit, in shame, that he was in fact AWOL while others were dying.

7. Another thread to check out, in LBN

Calpundit: Bush sent to disciplinary unit to make up AWOL time...

You know the mysterious torn document? It's torn no longer. And it ain't a Texas Air National Guard document:
