Where's the so-called liberal media on Bush AWOL story?

CNN (the most Trusted name in news) probably called Bush and asked him if
it's true he was AWOL, and Bush denied it. So, that is where the story
went.... Regards, Joe

Or maybe they accepted the simple fact that he never went AWOL and decided
not to continue a proven lie.

Or maybe they just understand that reservist do not get leave so they can't
be absent without it.

Be fair to the press.

Some lackey probably followed up by asking how Shrub's faith helped
sustain him in the face of allegations that he was AWOL.

Could you explain this a bit. Suppose that during a training exercise
a guy decides to go get a beer instead of man his post. Are you saying
there are no repercussions? Why wouldn't there be any to a guy who failed
to show up for duty? It seems like at a minimum it should have made him
avialable for the draft.

Gosh, did I stutter? Reservists do not get leave. Reservists are volunteers.
They are not required to be anywhere at anytime unless they are called to
active duty. If they are given orders to report somewhere, not as an active
duty status, it is generally because they requested a transfer. And, do you
have any idea how that order can be rescinded? I bet not. In any event, not
being present for anything as a Reservist merely means you loose the
prescribed pay for that event.

So, AWOL stands for Absent Without Leave. If you can't have leave, how can
you be absent without it? Maybe that's why no Reservist has ever been
charged with AWOL when in inactive status. Funny how that works, huh?
