Thanks for posting that link, in fact here is the most important paragraph in the article:
In conclusion, there is no evidence Bush got special treatment to join the Guard. He did NOT miss any meetings, he was not assigned to the Alabama Guard. The reason the so called "objective" media holds on to this myth is that it lets them keep asking, where was Bush? The issue of his being grounded is also answered because he would no longer be flying since his plane was obsolete and he did not have enough Guard time left to train in a new jet. You don’t need to report for a physical if you are not flying. Duh!
MY COMMENT:
I AM FORMER USNR, and this is perfect explanation of how the media is using normal military procedure to confuse non-military types who don't understand "how" the RESERVES works.
