Confirmation that Bush was AWOL is at the Raw Story's site.

Federal code unearthed by RAW STORY finally lays to rest questions of whether President George W. Bush was absent without leave during the time he served in the Texas Air National Guard.

The research, conducted by Paul Lukasiak over the past four months, proves that Bush was absent without leave under the law.

His superior officers could not have approved, nor could they have ignored, five straight months of missed training sessions between May and September of 1972.

According to the 1972 edition of the Uniform Code of Military Justice, Section 886, Article 86,"Absence Without Leave, subparagraph three, any member of the armed forces is considered AWOL if he, without authority, “absents himself or remains from his unit, organization, at which he is required to be at the time prescribed.”

Bush’s superiors could not have had the authority to absent him because the Code of Federal Regulations specifically defines when the Secretary of Defense cannot make exceptions.

It states unequivocally than an officer cannot miss more than 10 percent of training sessions without being excused. More importantly, it states that absences can only be excused "where … the training is made up by performance of equivalent drills or training periods – all other occasions are considered unexcused absences."

This needs to go national. Where is the mainstream media on this?
