Look, the documents out there concerning Bush's service in the National Guard are either missing, incomplete or vague. That's a fact. Bush has not, nor have his representatives, actually addressed that issue directly. Having Scott McClellan attack Kerry simply for bringing up Bush's record does not address the underlying issue.

Honorable Discharge. What more documentation do you or anybody else need?

There have been many posts on FR from folks who were active duty or in the Guard during and right after the Vietnam war, where they have all said, for various reasons, that the record keeping in those years was quite sloppy, so it's very plausible that the President's miltary records have gaps in them. Another factor to consider - the National Military Personnel Center (NMPC) in St. Louis, where all military personnel files are archived, suffered a fire some years ago (after the Vietnam era) that destroyed literally millions of records - these are gone forever. Another possible reason that the President's records are incomplete.

My point is that President Bush's record may never be able to be completely verified for perfectly innocuous reasons, with no nefarious motives that you seem all too eager to ascribe to either the Presdident or to Karl Rove.
