As I stated earlier the Guard wasn't under UCMJ, which is needed for AWOL status. The other thing DU needs to realize is that just because you don't show up, does not mean you are automatically AWOL under UCMJ guidelines.
There's paperwork involved with being declared AWOL. I would like to know the percentage of DU'ers that have any working knowledge of the military?

Exactly . . .
Besides the fact, that they aren't interested in Kerry's status after leaving active duty; or Clinton's efforts to avoid service, etc.
It's all about getting Bush -- and they seem to be coming to the battle unarmed with actual knowledge (about military status) and evidence (that Bush did not complete, honorably, his service; which he did, because it is in his file.)
And they think some commander's memos to himself are going to prove a military offense to contradict the official personnel file? Sheesh . . . ignorant wishful thinking . . .
