The Facts about Bush and the National Guard - The Democratic charges fall apart.***EDITOR'S NOTE: The still-escalating fight over the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth and their criticisms of John Kerry's Vietnam War record has led to new Democratic attacks on George W. Bush and his service in the Texas Air National Guard. "George Bush used his father to get into the National Guard, was grounded and then went missing," says an ad produced by MoveOn.org's political action committee.

Democrats made similar attacks earlier this year. In April, Kerry referred to Bush as a president who "can't even answer whether or not he showed up for duty in the National Guard," and who "has yet to explain to America whether or not, and tell the truth, about whether he showed up for duty." In February, Kerry said he wanted answers about Bush's service in Alabama, saying "Just because you get an honorable discharge does not, in fact, answer that question."

Lost amid all the charges are the facts about Bush's time in the Guard. When did he serve? What did he do? Did he fulfill his responsibilities? Was he in Alabama? In the March 8, 2004, issue of National Review, Byron York investigated and found the answers. …..***

Maybe the President should take the 180 form with him to the 1st debate and ask kerry to sign it.

This does look very suspicious for Kerry. Carter grants the amnesty on 21Jan78 and Kerry's records mysteriously start having entries again 16Feb78? Kerry must sign the DD180!

Hey guys

When I was discharged a copy of my DD214 went to my home state of record and more specifically to my home county of record. I even got a copy of it there one time (Leon County, FL). Now this was in the 80s - what was the policy in the 70s??? And are these public records?
