Ever wonder why Bush refuses to answer a simple question about why he
failed to show up for his physical and why he disobeyed direct orders
to do so? Apparently not.

Since the document in question that supposedly verifies your contention is
most likely bogus, I guess your question is moot.

Except that his failure to take a physical and his suspension from
flight status is undisputed.

His record shows that he fulfilled his obligation (accumulated the necessary
number of points) every year of his term of duty, including the year in
question. He was turning to his political career at that point and chose
not to fly. In fact, he soon after requested an early discharge, which was
granted, to pursue his political ambitions.

And before you get your panties in a wad, Kerry also requested an early
discharge for the same reason. It also was granted.

Oh, so you are one of those who believe he was in the position to
choose not to fly, and even choose not to show up. Well, obviously
that was the case, in *his* case, anyway.

How, pray tell, did Bush accumulate the necessary points to fulfill his
requirement that year if he "didn't show up?"

Powerful friends who helped him shirk his duties, helped him overcome
any bad press he was going to get from his commander.

In the several years prior to this supposed failure to report, he
accumulated ten to twenty times the number of points required to remain in
good stead in each year. He flew often. Isn't it just possible that he was
beginning to concentrate on his political career during that last year?

Certainly not by doing what he agreed to do when he signed up and what
the taxpayers had wasted $1million training him to do. It was largely
a paper shuffle and out the door.

His records also show that he failed to show up for his physical, and
he's never said why. The records also show that he was given
preferential treatment by those higher up the food chain.

discharge for the same reason. It also was granted.

After he was wounded three times, which is why it was granted.

Better learn the facts before dumping BS on this NG, Jon. Kerry was sent
home from combat duty in Vietnam because of the three PH rule. He served in
the military for some time after that before being discharged per his own
request to pursue his political career. The three PHs had nothing to do
with his discharge.
