SUMMARY

An examination of the Bush military files within the context of US Statutory
Law, Department of Defense regulations, and Air Force policies and procedures
of that era lead to a single conclusion: George W. Bush was considered a
deserter by the United States Air Force.


After Bush quit TXANG, he still had nine months of his six-year military
commitment left to serve. As a result, Bush became a member of the Air Force
Reserves and was transferred to the authority of the Air Reserve Personnel
Center (ARPC) in Denver, Colorado. Because this was supposed to be a
temporary assignment, ARPC had to review Bush’s records to determine where he
should ultimately be assigned. That examination would have led to three
conclusions: That Bush had “failed to satisfactorily participate� as
defined by United States law and Air Force policy, that TXANG could not account
for Bush’s actions for an entire year, and that Bush’s medical records were
not up to date. Regardless of what actions ARPC contemplated when reviewing
Bush’s records, all options required that Bush be certified as physically fit
to serve, or as unfit to serve. ARPC thus had to order Bush to get a physical
examination, for which Bush did not show up. ARPC then designated Bush as AWOL
and a “non-locatee� (i.e. a deserter) who had failed to satisfactorily
participate in TXANG, and certified him for immediate induction through his
local draft board. Once the Houston draft board got wind of the situation,
strings were pulled; and documents were generated which directly contradict Air
Force policy, and which were inconsistent with the rest of the records released
by the White House.
