We know Kerry served with valor in combat in Viet Nam, government records
prove it. Government records or the lack thereof also prove Bush was AWOL
during the Viet Nam war.

"During" the Viet Nam war? When did Nixon declare a pullout?

The U.S. News analysis also showed that during the final two years of his
obligation, Bush did not comply with Air Force regulations that impose a
time limit on making up missed drills. What's more, he apparently never made
up five months of drills he missed in 1972, contrary to assertions by the
administration. White House officials did not respond to the analysis last
week but emphasized that Bush had "served honorably."

When did Kerry fullfill his ready reserve obligation? (It included drill time, BTW.)

Some experts say they remain mystified as to how Bush obtained an honorable
discharge. Lawrence Korb, a former top Defense Department official in the
Reagan administration, says the military records clearly show that Bush "had
not fulfilled his obligation" and "should have been called to active duty."

Why is Kerry's discharge dated 1978?
