Is all this a forgery too?

Go look at this.

Very comprehensive, and as Bob Harris points out, Bush starts to go missing from his unit right around the time that the Air Force instituted a random drug-testing program. What timing!

Another thing that makes for interesting reading is this post by Glenn Smith, founder of Texans for Truth, which reveals that the Nixon-era Justice Department was investigating the Texas State Legislature for selling slots in the Texas Air National Guard. If I was a ranking officer in TANG at the time, that'd certainly get me to write some "CYA" memos about the sons of the powerful. Here's a sample:

Fear and paranoia overwhelmed those involved in the investigation of the National Guard in Texas. “One day everyone wanted credit for getting these rich kids into the Guard,” one source said. “The next day (after news of the investigation spread) no one was taking credit for anything anymore.”

Some news stories have questioned why Col. Walter “Buck” Staudt is mentioned in the memos as pressuring Killian after Staudt had retired. One source said even if you had left the guard you were concerned about the investigation. “You were worried about going to jail, you weren’t worried about your reputation.”

The White House's stance on the matter remains that the President was honorably discharged, and that's that. Well, considering that The Beltway Sniper could get himself an honorable discharge, I don't think they were so hard to get:

Sniper suspect John Allen Muhammad exploded a grenade in an Army tent during his military service in Saudi Arabia and earlier stole an M-16 rifle on a base in Germany, according to a commanding officer who now lives in north suburban Lincolnshire.

"He was a screwball then and a screwball now," said former Capt. Rick Martin, the executive officer of the 84th Engineer Company in the early 1990s when the alleged incidents occurred. "He was not a good soldier. On a scale of one to 10, he was a three at best."

Investigators grew suspicious and interviewed Muhammad--whose stuttering grew worse under questioning, Martin said. He admitted he hid the weapon, apparently to get another soldier in trouble, Martin said.

Muhammad faced a hearing, but he was not demoted, Martin said, adding that he was not sure whether any discipline was meted out.

Martin thinks a grudge that Muhammad held against another soldier led to his pulling the pin on an incendiary grenade in an Army tent near the Iraq border in January 1991.

"Someone yelled, 'Fire!' and his platoon scattered out of the tent," Martin said. No one was injured in the blast.

Martin said investigators found the grenade pin near Muhammad's bunk and determined the grenade exploded on the other side of the tent. They interviewed Muhammad, and he was arrested, Martin said. He said he does not know what happened to Muhammad.

Records show Muhammad entered the Louisiana National Guard in the late 1970s and was disciplined for striking an officer and demoted from sergeant to specialist. He entered the regular Army in 1985 and left active duty in 1994 with an honorable discharge.

That's excellent company the President's keeping there.
