Sea-- You are wasting your time with Mlsoft. Most of know that GWB is a idiot but Mlsoft believes he walks on water. Yes the same person who is unable to put two sentences together.

[1] -- Not "one thing" but also they are attempting to smear GWB
[2] -- Whereabouts of GWB from spring of 1972 to spring of 1973 from public records : May 24, 1972: Bush, who has moved to Alabama to work on a US Senate race, gets permission to serve with a reserve unit in Alabama. Sept. 5, 1972: Bush is granted permission to do his Guard duty at the 187th Tactical Recon Group in Montgomery. November 1972 to April 30, 1973: Bush returns to Houston.
[3] Drills may not be required for officers not on active flying status -- The National Guard allows officers to elect to accept 'inactive' status where they do not drill, get paid, or receive retirement points.
[4] Only a problem for the Bush Haters -- not a problem for the Texas National Guard
