What records has Bush provided (re: Guard Service)

So, Kerry has a rather comprehensive compendium of his military records online (http://www.johnkerry.com/about/john_kerry/military_records.html).

Is there a place where one can view Bush's military records? Are there certain records of Bush's that are glaringly absent?

1. Nothing that proves he has fulfilled his service. I like that they said

they were destroyed. Then after being sued FOIA released other copies of the documents, but they didn't provide any further proof of Bush fulfilling his duties. This is the real story if there has to be one about Vietnam.

2. Right

I've come to that conclusion too based on cummulative evidence, but I'm trying to persuade an intependent friend. I've shown him John Kerry's records; I'd like to be able to put what Team Bush has released side by side.

4. Good luck I hope you can. I think part of their strategy is to keep things

happening in a fashion that makes it near impossible to do that. They have so much going on at one time, and make sure information isn't chronologically released. Makes you spend a lot of time and effort to piece things together, and they know 90 pct of the public won't do it.

3. Q: "What records has Bush provided (re: Guard Service)" A: Dental

We can safely say that his teeth attended at least one day of Alabama Guard duty.

5. Haha I don't think we can even assume that! He just had his teeth cleaned.

on the taxpayers dime. Didn't necessarily report to duty that day!

6. "He was honorably discharged, so that proves he fulfilled his obligations"

That's their offical position on his desertion.
