Bush Should Have Been Court Martialed

Seems the feces is finally hitting the electric air movement device over Bush's so-called military service.

AMERICAblog has plenty on the story. And you should really read the Washington Post's story, too. But just look around at any of the news outlets. They are finally starting to get it.

Here are just the things that we know about that could have resulted in a court martial being convened.

  1. Disobeying a direct order.

  2. Failure to get a flight physical.

  3. Being suspended from flight duty.

  4. Adversely affecting unit readiness.

  5. Failure to attend required drill dates.

  6. Failure to attend Guard duties in Alabama.

  7. Failure to join a National Guard unit in Massachusetts.
Of course, in lieu of a court martial, his commander and the National Guard could have also discharged aWol from the Guard and transferred his commission to the Active Component. He might have even met a couple of the 150 guys he jumped over to get his cushy slot in the TANG. I'm sure they would have had a few words to say to young W.
